Lynne Curry of The Growth Company Releases Article - “Problems With Sick Leave”
(PRWEB) October 14, 2013 -- Lynne Curry, Ph.D., SPHR (CEO of The Growth Company, Inc.) has over 30 years of experience in management consulting and frequently receives questions from clients regarding situations in the workplace. Today, Dr. Curry releases an article regarding sick leave policies.
Dr. Curry received an email from a client, “I consider myself a healthy, reliable employee. I eat right, don't smoke, and am rarely sick. Some of my co-workers don't take care of themselves and call in sick all the time. Their unexpected absences place a burden on me and other dependable employees as we have to pick up the slack. Many of these employees seem to consider sick leave as time off owed them and take every day allowed even when they're not sick, no matter how their absences harm their co-workers. I've talked with my boss about this but he won't do anything about it, saying he can't take disciplinary action as it's a medical issue. He won't even discuss the issue with HR or corporate officials to see if there are alternative solutions. I'd like to talk to HR myself, but I'm afraid I'll get in trouble for going over my boss's head. What can do I do??”
