Sick day

To:  Manpower IDC

Manpowers new sick/absence policy needs to be better.

As a contractor working at IDC, IBM. You have no union to turn to when treated unfairly. This is my voice and you are welcome to join in.

I feel the following:

The IBM-doctor should be here every day.
- If I get sick on a monday, with this new policy, I have to travel to a doctor, pay for the visit myself and then report to Manpower to be able to get my salary, which by then will be cancelled out by the cost of the doctor I visited.

If that's the case, then I feel like I don't have to go to the doctor anyway because it'll give me... Nothing.

If every employee has the posibility of having a doctors note upon sickness, then every single sickness would be genuine aswell, and there would be no need for the "Maximum of 48 hours paid within a calendar year"
Because every single sick day would be honest, and fair towards everyone.

Another small question. If I have to find my own doctor, with my own expenses, because the IBM-doctor isn't working that day...

What happens if I can't get an appointment within the 4.5 hour mark that the new policy has set? The policy doesn't say..

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
