I got p[ssed off with guys taking days off , especially when they know there are jobs that have to be done urgently, ssssooooo , anyone who has a day off without good cause, (ya have to be dying , or a relative ) can have a week off !
1st one to get the week off hasnt had a day off for a year, then , new girlfriend , and had 4 days off last month. had a day off tuesday , so he now has a week to think about things.
Anyone got any good solutions on how to fix these slack f--ers .
I Hate lazy no good useless pieces of sh-te.
so much money to earn , but no one wants to work for it .
???????????
How is giving more time off to someone who wanted some time off in the first place a good punishment?
Cassa.. I blame management 
Best not to employ lazy no good pieces of sh!t. haha. 
If you are sure they don't have good reasons, I guess you should give fair warnings then look for someone else to give a try.

We didn't take sickies, for a few reasons.

Friday was worst, if crook, only six hours sick pay, at work six hours plus the double bubble for the next six. 
And his customers thought his team were guns
I have the opposite problem. Can't get people to stay at home when they are sick. This has lead to the whole office to get wiped out and in any case these employees are unproductive and prone to poor performance.
When I asked them why they came in, usually get 1 of 2 responses.
1. I couldn't get an appointment to see the doctor and by tomorrow I'll be fine.
2. Used all of my sick days looking after my kids when they were sick or in a previous illness.
I usually send them home on pay with orders not to return until fit. They try to sneak in the following day and if they are still not right then they are sent back home.
Be very careful on incentive schemes with sick days, they are meant for that purpose.
How to fix a sickie Cassa? I've got one suggestion you could try!
Send your employees a link to this thread... make sure they see the part where you are talking about downsizing...
I might be wrong, but I was under the impression that employees were entitled to 10 days of sick leave per year?
You can ask them to provide a doctors certificate if two or more days are taken consecutively, if its not provided then you can make it leave with no pay (dont quote me, this is just stuff from memory)
I was also under the impression that employers had to have insurance to cover these events, so its really at no extra cost to them anyway?
)
They are entitled to sick days if they are sick, not because they feel like a day off. Thats what holidays are for. Fortunately weve got a good crew now but we had so many idiots who thought they were entitled to time off when ever they wanted. Didn't last long, i think most were drug ****ed any way.
how about if you feel sick of work..? I sometimes do... I just feel like i've had enough, and am so exhausted that i need to take a sickie ro recover psychologically...
If your job is giving you the sh!ts, ring up and and tell them you have 'industrial diarrhea'. You're not lying.
Is there a good surf break where you are working????
I had a surf this morning and a sleep this afternoon, but I work for myself and will probably need to do a few hours over the weekend
You can't beat 'em - so why not join 'em ?
If it is so hard being the boss chuck it in, go work for some other sucker that will pay you while he buys you piss and then take a sickie
Spend all day laughing about what a sucker he is that he has to pay you.
My solution worked ( the full week off), got a longwinded call , full of , I;m so sorry I have been an idiot, so on so ,so on , it wont happen again( we wil see about that!) can I please ,please come back to work , so I let him return.
As for the comments that we are all entiteled to 10 days off per year, If you think thats OK , well I guess with that kind of attitude of spread throughout the workforce we , as a country that is supposed to be going forward, would soon be going the other way! Consider this ;- 20 employees, each taking their alotted 10 days off per year -- 200 days of lost time, do the sums , think about the employer trying to be competative, or the best at whatever he, they do , without having a reliable workforce. It just wouldnt work . Thank goodness MOST workers have a good work ethic and only take time off when it is really necessary.
I have no objection to that considering some of the highly contaigeous lurgies about at the moment.
Downsizing is the next option should I have to revert to other measures in the future, hope it doesnt come to that
As an Employer, Employees are your most valuable resource.
Without employees you have no business or at the very least no life.
Treat employees so that they feel appreciated, valued - an invaluable asset to the business even and i am sure your sick days will lessen - money is not everyones motivator.
If i was your employee i would have told you to shove your dull ass job up your arse.
35 hrs per week for $800, as an 18yr old is good , no great money, he and I have a lot of fun at work ,as the rest of the crew do , you got to go every day so you might as well enjoy it .He just did the teenager thing and followed the pussy, we have all done that , and he regrets his shortcommings there.
