Sacked due to sickness record

As per company rules, any employee in the probation period will not be paid for any hours they are unable to work. Therefore it made no difference she never got paid whenever she didn't turn in.

Just a quick update. They lady that was sacked due to sickness did borrow/loan £100 from my co-worker saying her car insurance was due and she needed the money as she has to look after her daughter getting her to and from nursery. Well I was shocked to see my co-worker sporting a Black eye in work yesterday, I asked her what had happened and she said she asked the lady for her money back and she threatened her and told her to get lost. My co-worker then made the mistake by going to her house and asked her for her money as she had dipped into her mortgage money to help her out and she just punched her straight in the face and told her to give that to the mortgage company.

I would just like to say thank you all on here for warning me about this woman I did feel sorry for her but now I can see clearly whom she is.

My poor co-workers kindness was taken as some kind of weakness now she is in trouble with her mortgage lender.

Your co worker needs to report this to the police as its assault.Also you should never lend money to people at work ie large amounts above a couple of pounds or so.They are not friends/family and I know a fair few people who have lost money this way.

that's terrible - I bet you are so glad you didn't get involved after all. These people can be very convincing and manipulative so don't feel bad that you were nearly taken in, I think until you've seen it for yourself you don't have the experience to spot it coming.

Your co-worker was very kind. She should shake herself out of feeling sorry for this woman (if she still does) and report to the police.

She sure shows her colours.

The thing that needs to be born in mind though, is that employment is not a charity system that you manipulate according to your needs.
If you don't hack it, you don't work.
Some seem to think, that employers should hand money out at the gate, to save them having to go in and earn their pay.
Of course, the employer goes bust, and every other working employee loses their job too.

It is every employee's job, to make their employer successful, for the sake of everyone else employed. It ain't just the Financial Managers job. (Much as we'd like some of them to blow their heads off.)

She should have thought of that before taking all the time off! It's not the taxpayer's responsibility to pay for someone who can't manage to turn up every day.

Sorry if that's a bit harsh but if she wanted to succeed in the job she'd have made the effort.
