I am a department manager and I was wondering how other managers handled employee sick time.
In my opinion, sick time is for being sick. It's there to use when you need it, however; using it is absenteeism. If for example; you have 7 days of sick time in a year, and in that year you use all of your days, you are eligible to be paid - as you should. My question is; should the employee be talked to about absenteeism?
I feel that they should. using 7 or more days in a year is excessive absenteeism, correct? The employer is expecting you to be there 'every-day'...
How should I handle it with my employees?
