However, I think you need to be careful with the last statement. It can be read as "I will not work with the sniffles." I know it sounds harsh, but that may be one of the reasons for such a policy by employers.That seems So wrong. I did call out...had the flu. I'm Not one of theses nurses that works Sick! -
9:10 pm by ~PedsRN~It's just *not* a crazy policy. It's an industry norm... And believe me, I have seen some crazy policies. I am a weekender... meaning, I work Saturday and Sunday every week. I earn a slightly higher pay rate on those days as a result. A weekender at my place of employment can NOT call out. If I am sick on a Saturday and call out - then I get a verbal warning. Second call out within a year of the first and I get a WRITTEN warning - which makes me ineligible for company wide bonuses, etc. In my opinion - THAT is a crazy policy. But I choose to be a weekender (and I LOVE it), so I accept the policy. If it meant that much to me, I could get another job.

I don't get why we are so quick to just accept rules set down by a bunch of money grubbing executives. If you work for a company, you are PART of the company and deserve to have a say in how it's ran. That's how unions level the playing field, by collective bargaining.It's just *not* a crazy policy.
