Sick leave is a right
A right? Wrong. The concept was originally a privilege but founf its way into awards etc so that it became an entitlement when an employee was ill. There are many in Australia in 2007 who do not enjoy this so-called right. That said, there are plenty of workers who abuse sick leave and if an employer wants to put a stop to anu rorting, they should be able to use whatever means are available to it to do so. The state of an employees health is ,ore than a matter between the employee and his/her medical adviser,
