Disabled Baby & Sacking issue

What an awful lot you work for.

I am allowed 6 days per annum, paid emergency carers leave to a max of 3 days at a time, when my daughter has been ill for longer periods and I have no one to look after her, I have worked from home, to the best of my ability, or used up TOIL, my manager has always said just do what you need to do, and come back when it is sorted. This has also applied in school holidays when previous plans have failed last minute.

I can see why people would go sick for no reason other than needign to look after children/relatives.

13 WEEKS :o .Thats more than what your holiday entitlement would be. Are you sure its not 13 days.

 

13 weeks per child. If you had 4 children and they were all ill for 13 weeks seperatley then you wouldnt need to work at all in that year

[honey5]

no its 13 weeks per child per year , obviously that amount of time would have to be appropriately accounted for and not abused, when i had the twins i had 18months off months full pay 6 months half pay but because of the contractual agreement the dss picked up the other half of my wages which were paid in full until i returned after the 18 month

On such matters as this, Managers just make up the law as they go along, and most employees just accept what they say.

Some HR people are worse than managers cos they do not represent you but the company.

Join a Union, read up on such matters on the net. The net is mine of information.

You always find with bullies if you stand upto them, they go off to pester someone else.
