Do we require a doctor's paperwork to let them off for paid sick days? On the other end, we want to make sure food-safety and the health of co-workers is top priority. <br><br>For newer managers in this business, there is the tendancy to jump to a conclusion that someone "isn't really sick", they just wanted a day off to recover from the party the night before. Companies who have good retention usually ask first if the staffer is okay and what can be done for them instead of beating them down about screwing up the shift. <br><br>IN the companies I have been in, manager-level staff usually get 5-10 days of paid sick leave, why shouldn't hourly staff? They can almost never afford to be off for an extended period of time without some financial consequences. I think as long as they are forced to use accrued vacations days first, then get sick leave, then it might work.davelorynoreply@blogger.com
