Taken 3 days of my annual leave this week to catch up on things, do some stuff before the Xmas mania takes hold, and celebrate a birthday wine

So why do I have to get sick and end up at the quack's crying

Nothing a prescription won't fix but frustrated frustrated frustrated I only ever have sick days when I am sick blues

Got a sick note til the end of the week, hope I can make up at the weekend thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up

ask your doc for a certificate for the days you were sick, you can ask for your annual leave back if you were genuinely sick

hope you are felling betterteddybear

A lot of EBAs these days have the "Bad Luck" clause inserted these days.

Okay, I have taken advantage of this before because it is a good lurk. And over 40 years I have only seen this as a "lurk."

As an example, I decide to take my 3 months Long Service Leave off. During any year, I am "expected" to take 15 days as "sickies." And therefore my employer is expected to give me an 4 extra days off as "sick" during that time?doh

After being a full-time worker for over the last 43 years and a "boss" for the last 3 of those, I still see this as a "lurk." And a very big "YES" I do approve those that claim it

it was my doc who made me aware of being able to claim back days you were sick on annual leave, wouldnt let me leave the surgery without a certificate.

That is totally correct... I work in HR... so I can promise you... you will get it off as sick days, and you will not loose your annual leave..

But of course, you need to say something, otherwise HR will not know...


Get better and have a Happy as you can Birthday...cake balloons party bartender rose rose rose
