UK the 12 week sick law

By law in the UK Employees are allowed 12 weeks of sick pay with full Salary covered plus their usual 28 days hols still intact.

Now at my workplace 3 employees take full advantage and use it WHEN THEY'RE NOT SICK!!! Sick covers; Unwell, sprained body part, accident at work or ANYWHERE else etc. My coworkers use it and go Poland, to their hometown.

So basically everybody can get up to four months off work with pay for benefits and not have to worry about losing their job

@dale74 In the UK yes. I believe it starts first day at yer job but at the same time, my workplace fires people who have too many absence within six months 🤣
