Re: People going sick.

Not at all Lord Trenchards Brat,

I whole heartedly agree. Do us a favour Movadinkampa747, and wind your neck in. You really have no argument at all here do you?

I'll certainly not rise to the mover bait. 100 lines 'I must spell mover right'....awe bless you!

BTW check my name out....might give a clue to you my distant past....if you know RAF history that is.

Re: People going sick.

So, anyway, getting back to the topic?

Do you reckon the MOD should start coming down hard on the malingerers?
How can they do it?

discuss?

Re: People going sick.

I reckon 20 days paid sick leave per year, after that Statutory Sick Pay.

This would save the MOD loads.

I wish I could agree with you (and thats honestly) but as a businesman I only offer statutaory sickpay after paying 5 days sick at full pay (thats generrous in civi world) at a level well below the the av service pay to my staff. That would indeed give a much needed incentive to the lazy gits to turn up for work. I know the sick pay calcs is more complex than that but it at least acts as a deterent.

Why not??

Every MD has that decision to make in the real world. Why should the MOD in the 'Accountant PC Run era' be any different? Just playing devils advocate!

Lets hope so if its deemed appropr iate.

I reckon that an 'Operational' pay scale should be introduced.

If you are fully fit, then you resume your usual pay scale.

If you are over x amount of days sick then you can be reduced to a 'sicky pay band'

just an idea.

and why has the individual been allowed to leave a training unit before being upgraded?

The Training units have a lot to answer for as well.

Its not just about getting the camps stats correct and fobbing the problem onwards, the problem needs to be addressed before release to an operational unit.

Re: People going sick.

And while we're at it, how can people pass out of recruit and trade training having never passed a fitness test? One of them in my place of work, so it's not hearsay.

Sorry, I digress...

Not been classified non-effective.

What are the rules concerning non-effectiveness?
