The Law will of course vary in different jurisdictions, and it seems to be practice in Hong Kong also for an employer to count a 'Sick Day' as a 'Rest Day'. I always found that outrageous. It infers that while you are being wracked with severe flu symptoms you are 'resting'. Or having stitches in a gashed noggin, you are 'resting'.
Totally insane.
But here's another question for you.
Is a REST DAY the same as a DDO?
Are the terms interchangeable?
Because I sense the CAD's argument is that they are different. The EO refers to 'Rest Days'. The CAD rules refer to 'DDO's'.
Are they different? If so, did you know all along they were different?
