Sick Leave Policy

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM

 

DATE: 01/01/2008

TO: All Personnel

FROM: U. R. Skrood

SUBJECT: New Sick Leave Policy

 

Because of several violations and technicalities of our standard sick leave policy, we have revised the policy as follows:

SICKNESS: No excuse. We will no longer accept your doctor's statement as proof, as we believe that if you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE (For An Operation): We are no longer allowing this practice. We wish to discourage any thought that you may have about needing an operation. We believe that as long as you are employed here, you will need all of whatever you have and should not consider having anything removed. We hired you as you are and to have anything removed would certainly make you less than we bargained for.

DEATH (Other Than Your Own): This is no excuse. There is nothing you can do for them, and we are sure that someone else in a lesser position can attend to the arrangements. However, if the funeral can be held in late afternoon, we will be glad to let you off one hour early, providing your share of work is ahead enough to keep the job going in your absence.

DEATH (Your Own): This will be accepted as an excuse, but we would like a two-week notice as we feel it is your duty to teach someone else your job.
