reward for zero mc
An ex-colleague was saying the company rewarded him for not taking a single MC (medical certificate) for half a year.
Something is amiss here. There are reasons why employees take MC. It could be genuine ill-health, could be bacteria-filled workplace, could be psychologically harmful working environment, could be insane workload, etc etc. Rather than rewarding those who don't take up their entitlement, why not help those who really need attention?
Taking MC is an employee's right and entitlement (subject to doctor's professional judgement, of course). If I don't take my next month's salary, are you going to promote me straight to become director?

Haha, I like your arguments. So my company will pay a lot of "attention" to me since I always use up my 14 days MC entitlement :P
