[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, if it’s a pattern. We used to have huge coverage issues around holidays due to people calling in sick. Our field has strict ratios that we have to follow so mass callouts are a big problem and would lead to last minute closures for people depending on us for services. Then my company put a policy in place where if you call out for your scheduled shift before/after a holiday, you don’t get paid for the holiday, and have to use leave instead. Magically solved the problem immediately. (If you are out on pre-approved leave it’s fine, the policy only covers call outs.) [/quote] This is an asinine policy. Your employer succeeded in encouraging sick persons to show up to work. Instead of doing the right thing--staying home so you don't spread illness to your coworkers or clients--you strongly incentivized coming in sick to avoid an unreasonable loss of pay. Congrats on doing the wrong thing.[/quote]
