im not wrong aslong as you dont have more than 2 occasions in a certain period of time you will be ok so a week here then 2 weeks there wont hurt unless its in a short space of time

also all shift workers lose shift pay if they are sick

Just to correct a few of the inaccuracies here!
You are allowed 10 sick days a year and or 2 occasions of sickness in three months, both of these being a rolling year and 3 months.
Break either of these and you move to stage two, do it again and you move up a level again!
As for the day you report sick or fit, these days do count towards your sickness days for government sick pay purposes, but if (for example) you called sick on a day off before a 3 day trip, and reported fit on the day after the trip, ie another day off, you only accrue 3 days sick under eg 300!

Clear as mud??

BA Boi, can you advise why the levels of CC standby are ramped up for Henley, Wimbledon and Ascot then?

Blatant casual sickness, but you're right to be smug, the Management are too weak to tackle the problem. Yes the EG's are there but its takes so long for the process to complete that very few ever lead to dismissal.:yuk:

According to the rules, you are correct. However, I know of some Flight Crew who have been given 4 days sickness for calling in the day before a 3 day trip. For this reason, people are not taking any chances, and are calling in on the day.

Nope, you are still wrong. The 10 days is definitely set in stone. You can go sick for 10 days in one go, and you will trigger the first stage even if you have not been sick previously EVER.

And another point, Cabin Crew might not be signed up to this policy yet, but when you are, it seems to be being applied retrospectively. ie. if you go sick for the first time once the process is implemented, they will look back to see how many days you were sick in the last year, and treat you accordingly.
