This is a great idea, or not

I have just read this article about being ill while on paid leave from work.

Maybe i can claim back my week off i have just had?

So if you take two weeks off and you are ill for one week of the two, you can claim back a week of the paid holiday you just had.

I can see this costing businesses millions, because employees with no scruples taking advantage of this new ruling.

It is another nail in the coffin of Britain being ruled by Britain.

Where has all the common sense gone?

I can understand that if you booked a holiday for two weeks and you have the flu and can't go on the holiday and you have to cancel your holiday.

When you are better you can rebook the holiday, but you don't have enough holiday time left from work to go on that holiday, that is how i see it working, but it will be taken advantage of.

Let's look back in a year from now and see what happens.
