The Flight Ops lies manager has discovered a new way to swindle a few Dirhams each month out of pilot's pay packages.
This is the same Lies Manager who explained to us that finally getting per diem and not getting paid for standby as well as the removal of a the transportation allowance was an 11% raise. He also managed the lie that giving up our confirmed bussiness class annual leave ticket was a consession for the above mentioned raise/rollback.
The latest little known lie involves sick days. The HR manual specifically says the we don't have to go see the doc untill the second day unfit. However the LM in conjunction with Captain Canuk in OCC will dock your pay in controvention of the contract and the HR policy unless you see the doc the first day. Guys check your pay slips. For the last 6 months they have been deducting pay like this.
Also, reporting fit used to be done by 2100 local. An unannounced policy changed that time to 1700, so if you call fit at the old published and understood time of 2100 they will claw back another days pay.
I for one am no longer going to give them a heads up when I am ill. I will call unfit shortly before show time. They can then see the operational and financiall impact their cheap thieving policies will reap when they find they have to deal with the subsequent delays and cancellations.
FYI- Beware the Lies Manager and anything this KIWI says.
