k4mrc Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 After one of my staff had ONE whole month off work due to having a baby, (2 weeks hols - 2 weeks pat leave) he came out today just 6 weeks after returning to work, with the Quote of the year "I have not had a proper Holiday for years!" FFS, the last 9 weeks in my shop I have been covering Holiday's for the staff, and just as I thought "maybe get out on the BMW" he comes out with that = Quote of the year.... then wants to book more....

Gray Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Sack him. I have'nt had a proper holiday for 20 years. Whats all that paternal leave shite anyway?.. Worlds gone mad. going to make that my signature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I had two weeks off when all 3 off mine where born. I also have 3 holidays a year. Do you live to work or work to live. New baby = very exciting times. all you want to do is be at home, Martin give the guy a break he'll be a more loyal member of staff for it.

Gray Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Just think about the lost productivity through fathers taking all that time off. Its no wonder this country is going too the dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Friend Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Just imagine the lost production of them coming to work knackered after trying to make that baby - sex = Saturday - should be in their contacts. Having sex twice can make you really tired....I had it twice last year and still not recovered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I thought you were a one man band? how do you get so much time off? Re: Quote of the year! i had a month off when my wife had our last baby same has your man did and i have to be honest it was the best time ive had with my family for a long time my boss was great about and seemed to understand now he dosent have to ask me to work six days to cover others i just do it now martin does that tell you something I am quite understanding - hence he has had one month off! does your boss pay 'double time' for all those 6 day weeks? or do you do it for standard rates lol I was referring to the fact he had had one month off (June) and here we are beginning of August and he seems to have 'Forgot it' already! Best thing about staff, the more the Government give them in rights - the more they seem to want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k4mrc Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 [quotehang on didnt he take his holidays that he was due and let me ask you this did you pay him full pay for his baba leave or just the basic gov rate ] Union minded I guess - know all your rights! but yes he got 'proper' pay but just 4 or 5 weeks later to 'want more' in my view is taking the P*** Give and Take?? a couple of business people I know agree with my view, but a couple might not!

Craig Gardner Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Sack him. Ask me why I don't employ anyone but some of us are in the fortunate position to be far to busy for 1 guy and need to employ people. i have good loyal staff one of 13 years service now and another 2 good guys and i have had 3 sick days in the last 13 years from my staff all added together and they run the whole business for me when i go on holiday 3 times a year. craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
