Asked to work when sick
Posted: Tue Nov 02, 2021 4:41 pm
hi,
Is it acceptable for an OSHC service to tell you you need to work when sick due to the service being short of staff and therefore your absence will result in the service running under ratio.
Personally I think this is terrible, myself and another educator have been basically told we need to come into work even when a medical certificate was provided. Also it is not our problem that the service is short staffed.
It makes for an awkward situation when you say no to working and then attend work the next day etc.
Any feedback would be appreciated, thank you.
