[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they getting their work done? As a manager that is the only thing that should really concern you. My work has a lot of sick leave and I occasionally take a day as a mental break (not necessarily on Friday). However, I only do it when I do not have any imminent deadlines, no one is waiting for any inputs from me, and no one has to pick up whatever I dropped. And then sometimes when I am actually sick but there is stuff I do not want to drop on others I just suck it up. So it all evens out. And as they do not really affect anything no one cares about my sick days. So maybe instead of focusing on why the person always falls sick on a Friday, try to think about how they are performing and how their work ethic affects the rest of the team.  [/quote]

This. If it’s an employee who does good work and it doesn’t impact deadlines, I’m not making it a big deal. It may be mental health related for all I know. If it’s someone with performance issues, then I might document it but it would be in the context of other issues. [/quote]
