I hate that in Tesco you don't get paid for the first 3 days off sick!

*Kat*

I'm so ill just now. Literally dying, puking, light-headed, sore muscles, aching.

There's no way I can stand 8 hours at the CSD tomorrow, so I'm about to call in sick, but its just annoying, I'm going to lose 1/4 of my wages for being ill. (I work part time and they dont have any extra hours...jokes)

That's it really. Annoying.

I'll send my condolences to your family now while you are still alive to pass on the message.

Tesco isn't the only employer to not pay for the first three days - that's the rule for statutory sickness pay.

Eh, I dont care if I die, I care about paying my rent lol

Literally dying,

Figuratively.

Don't use it if you don't know what it means.

Can't be that bad if you're posting on here

3 days is the same everywhere though, not just Tesco!

My advice is to delete this thread, before someone senior gets wind and you find yourself answering to a manager.

If you were that bad you wouldn't be able to type!!

*Kat*

lol, you guys are funny! You can be ill and type...lol, and why would I be pulled up by a manager? lol

Just called up work and apparently 2 other people have called in with a sick bug so that makes me feel a bit better about calling in.

Standard sick rules, I'm afraid.

Of course you can be ill and type, but you can't be 'literally dying' and type at the same time.

if you hate it that much find a job with better perks....
