Yes they are.
EG300 should not be used in the style of the Spanish Inquisition. I have sat at redundany meetings having employees fighting for their survival discussing problems like cervical cancer and whether it should be concidered or discounted on a matrix of sickness weighting. This is totally unacceptable. Having to justify why you are sick, regardless of a produced doctors note is wrong.
Generally, peer pressure stops people throwing sickies. Find a way of utilising that to cut down the amount taken, would be the avenue that I would take. I have not been sick for three years. For the year before that, I went sick numerous times. I had a change in my life that was the cause of that. Who is to say that that may not happen again? Does that make me a bad employee?
So, taking a payment for the introduction of a policy, does not waive your basic human rights of being treated compassionately and fairly.
