been sacked! 1st time in 26 years.... not good

[G1BB0]

so I have been given 6 weeks notice. last day is tomoz so got 6 weeks to find a new job, 42 and slightly bricking it.

Poor sick record although 6 days in the last 10 months but the Bradford factor doesnt lie.... yeah OK

time for pastures new maybe

WOW sacked for 6 days absence on the Bradford factor.

We have guys getting a warning at most for 1000+ points

I'm sitting on 125ish points without a single word being said to me.

Harsh!!!

BT has one of the lowest even though they raised it due to the union, I think ours is 80 points

Oh right - guess didn't have anything like that in military life - you went to the sick parade then got sent back to work

80 points then your out? That is ridiculous!!! What happens if your ill twice in a year for Christ sake?

 

[wrighty1874]

75 points is when we get issued with a verbal warning and then goes through the disciplinary ladder on any following occurred..nces thereafter. It was brought in to combat the one day sickie merchants, but now encourages people to go off long term and accrue less points.

Yep might as well have 2 weeks off as it's not much different from having 2 single days.

Nothing should happen for twice. The idea is that it picks up the people who consistently take single sick days
