What are the best ways to handle situations where workers love to skip work

[cherry123]

How do you think managers can handle a situation that some workers call in sick just to stay away from work. How would you handle this?

 

[Shavkat]

The worker needs to receive a write-up for skipping work. This will serve as the first warning. After three consecutive habitual skipping of work, he will have the proper sanction from the company.

 

[cherry123]

Yes it will better to find out and if it is false then you give the person a warning before taking drastic action

They may be asked to bring the medical certificate next day. It's very frequent in our office too and we ask for the evidence in such cases.

Good they need to show evidence that they were actually not able to turn up for work

Yes, they should. And that will help to reduce absenteeism.

 

[cherry123]

Definitely any thing to make workers act responsibly should be adopted

Yes, we should try anything we can do to make them disciplined.

Discipline has always been the way to go. You would enjoy it better.

If employees are taking sick leave, they should show the letter signed by a registered doctor. Taking leave without proper reason is not acceptable.

In such a case, i think the best thing to do is to also skip their salaries. By the time they noticed their salaries are being deducted, they would want to put in more effort.

There should be a penalty for such act that will make workers stop

There should be a penalty for such act that will make workers stop

Exactly that's the only way that will deter others from doing same.

When you have casual workers as we have in our company they won't give the penalty but will leave the job as they know that they will get a job somewhere.

Why would they skip work? Who would now do the work? I would sack all of them.

 

[cherry123]

I think a lot of people do this if you skip work too much you would be sacked but I think it is the best option so that others will learn

 

[Niyi Briggs]

It is negligence for an employee to repeatedly skip work without any concrete reason. Such a staff should make way for people that are serious to take the work.

 

[cherry123]

Yeah such a staff is not contributing to the growth of others in the company or the growth of the company. you are not ready to work then you go away

 

[Niyi Briggs]

For me, I would divide his salary by the number of working days in a month to get his daily pay. I would just count the number of days he comes to work,. multiply it by his daily pay and give him every month. I would automatically turn such a staff to a daily paid staff.

You do this by increasing the discipline of workers. If he claims to be sick, he must include a sick note from a doctor or other proof that he is really sick. If you often skip school for other reasons, such as family events, give him a warning and fine or cut wages.
