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.

@being That was opinion. This is a fact.

Also am basing it on my workplace where there's a 36 / 48 hour week per rota. In one month we work 15 days max! But a few machines become 1 man running a machine when ideally there needs to be 2 operators per one time.
