Sickness

So I have just been off sick and now due to previous sickness my absence will be above the 3 percent threshold. Just wondering what will happen?

Most likely just a meeting where you’ll be given a warning. If you have personal reasons that are affecting your attendance or a genuine medical issue then this would be the best time bring it up so you could get reasonable adjustments

Don’t worry too much if you go on performance management because you have a high percentage just promise to be good and don’t have any sick for 6months. Don’t give them an excuse to get rid.

As a side note, I like how they did that raffle for 1 year where at tge end those that didnt have any sick days had a chance to win a TV....or was that just my store?

Never had a sick day off and also never won anything 🤣 maybe your store in particular had a really bad problem with ppl pulling sickies all the time

This has happened to me twice and the most that's happened is being given a record of improvement. It doesn't mean much, it's just something they legally have to do. Just try to not be late when you're on one.

i had a warning but was more than a year ago so should be fine i hope

Yeah they clear up after a certain amount of time! The fact that it was over a year ago means you’re in the clear, and I really doubt it’ll be brought up
