[QUOTE="quadro, post: 690936, member: 12850"] I agree with your sentiments, unfortunately that lends itself to abuse. You'll have some people who are friends with a doctor and can easily get a note so they never get held accountable. You'll have some people who aren't necessarily friends but will go to the doctor just to get a note. And then you'll have some people who will complain that FedEx is making them spend money on a doctor's visit to get a note to prove they were sick. For those employees who are seriously ill and miss several days, then a lot of times their absences will be covered under FMLA and those days won't count against them. For those employees who rarely get sick but miss a day here and there and aren't covered under FMLA, they can make up for those days with a bonus point or two under the right circumstances. Lastly, unless your absence is covered under FMLA, why should someone who was sick get the same review score as someone who was there 100% of the time? You'll never really have a sick policy that everyone agrees with, so the best thing you can do is make it fair. At Express, you can be out about 8 days a year and still be satisfactory (FMLA absences don't count) which seems pretty fair. [/QUOTE]
