There are people who can move round classes to support and support teachers who can be brought in. There is no comparison at all with around 20% of teachers at one school being off and one shop that employs two people being closed. Legally, each class must have a teacher. A school's worth of lessons cannot be maintained by support staff alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them aren't genuinely sick though, many will be staying at home because that's what the rules say despite there being nothing wrong with them. It's not just teachers, there are loads of perfectly well people STILL being ordered to stay at home all across the island. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 According to the NPM this evening, there have been 100 recorded police absences from work, due to mental health issues. I wonder what the figures for transport, DOI, DHA&J and others are? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sickness absence % including mental health in public sector is consistently well above private sector as they are allowed 6 months full pay every 6 months & very little sickness management ie interviews on return, disciplinary for persistent offenders etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On average government employees take 12.5 days off every year, if you know of any private employer that could tolerate that please let us know he main points contained within the corporate statistics show: In the 12 months to 31 March 2019 compared to the 12 months to 31 March 2018:- The number of days lost per employee is 12.46 compared to 13.23, a decrease of 6%; The number of days lost per fte per month averaged 1.04 days compared to 1.01 days per month; 50% of the workforce had no sickness absence during the 12 months to 31 March 2018; And it’s still 6 months full pay & 6 months half pay for most employees the reduced sickness benefits are only for new employees in last 3/4 years & unions would like this changed so all get the higher sickness benefits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just teachers, there are loads of perfectly well people STILL being ordered to stay at home all across the island. But they're not perfectly well - they've got an infectious disease that can kill people. Typhoid Mary felt perfectly well as well, but you wouldn't want her preparing your dinner. Even from the point of view of workplaces, if all the 40%-50% who are without symptoms went in and each infected two people (and Omicron BA.2 is ridiculously infectious) then one of those two would be ill enough to be off and the workplace would be no better off. Infect more (and schools are notorious infection breeding grounds) and the workplace is worse off. And that's without all the other people who the infected go on to give it to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
