What do you do when people are off sick? A well run business surely has the capacity to cope when the odd person is off either sick or on holiday.

The key point is "odd person off", the leave was obviously turned down as the margins were too slim to allow it and then the individual has called in sick (during half term) which looks very suspect.
That's pretty much the answer there. Also, how big do you think all businesses are? How much spare do you think there is? People can move around, possibly, but it inconvenient and can have a knock on effect.
Equally, throw in the smaller business where it becomes a real struggle if multiple people are off? They can cope if they absolutely have to, short term, but if someone is deliberately inconveniencing the company.........

Sometimes, for the smaller businesses the old factory fortnight looks a good option. Have the vast majority of staff scheduled to be off at the same time. By all means have some admin in manning the phones.

That is effectively what we do. We closely fully over Christmas and for 1 week in August. These are compulsory holidays. Other days are taken at their choice but the staff know that they can not all be off at the same time. There is plenty of give and take so we have no issues.
