Colleague malingering

Hi Mizzy

 

I have to agree with Badtimes123

 

You don't actually know why your colleague is off sick at present as you will not/should not be privy to the sick notes signed by her GP and what they state.

 

You and your colleagues are jumping to a certain conclusion without knowing all the facts which only your Companies HR and her Manager will be privy to not the Employees which you are.

 

How are you aware that this individual is not answering there phone (unless you or other employees are calling them) and not responding to letters from the Employer?

 

As for the two colleagues who worked at her previous store approaching that previous store Manager about this they are lucky that said store Manager did not report that up the chain to take Disciplinary Action against them why as this could be seen as Bullying and Harassment of an Employee that is off sick. So they are lucky as said that Manager hasn't report this matter further.

 

My air of caution for you and the other Employees that seem to have an issue with this specific Employee that is off Sick you need to be really careful in what you are doing as this could be classed as Bullying and Harassment of an Employee especially one that is of Sick and could back fire on you especially if the Employee off Sick becomes aware of what other Employees have been doing and raises it with the Employer.  

 

If you and your colleagues are struggling due to an Employee being off sick then all you can do is raise the matter with your line Manager that you are struggling due to this absence to see what action they take to assist you.
