National Sick Day has arrived

February 1, 2010

No, not the day where we can all throw-up in public, but the day identified by "experts" as the most likely for employees to pull a sickie.

National Sick Day - the first Monday of February - is thought to be the most likely day in the year for employees to call in sick thanks to Christmas credit card bills, gloomy weather and a long wait to the next Bank Holiday.

So if your office or workplace seems quieter than usual this morning, now you know why. In fact, why are you even here?

Guru looks forward to the creation of National Just Do Your Bloody Job Day.

It might be National Sick Day but unauthorised leave is a big problem for employers every day of the year. We've just published a survey that looks at absence in the workplace. http://tinyurl.com/ylj44dj

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
