It is weird the way your own preconceived ideas about someone you have never met subconsciously feeds into how you view their work. I had never really given her music a proper listen before.

Glad they are on the mend.
Absenteeism and sick leave in the public service have fallen significantly since sick leave entitlements were effectively halved last year, according to the latest statistics from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
The total cost of public service sick leave for 2014 was €319.3m, down €51.5m or almost 14% from the 2013 figure.
The average rate of public service sick leave has fallen from 4.3% in 2013 to 4%. The average public servant was out sick for 8.7 days in 2014, down from 9 and a half days in 2013.
According to the department, the reduction in sick leave meant that public servants worked an additional 260,000 days in 2014 compared to the previous year.
It notes that the new rules were only in place for nine months of the 2014 calendar year.
They apply to the civil service, health, local authority, justice and defence sectors, and were extended to the education sector last September.
However, they do not include the judiciary, members of the Defence Forces, or the staff of the Central Bank.
The new scheme introduced on 31 March last year cut the level of paid leave from six months on full pay and six months on half pay to three months on full pay and three months on half pay - though the old entitlements apply to critical illnesses.
Within the Civil Service, the average absenteeism rate was 10.1 days per employee.
The highest average absenteeism rates were in shared services (13.9 days), the Department of Children and Youth Affairs (13.2 days) and the Department of Social Protection (12.9 days).
The lowest rates of 1.6 days were in the Law Reform Commission and the Ombudsman for Children's Office.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
Because X doesn’t roll like that, because X can’t be pinned down!

Originally posted by Fiery Wasabi View PostYeah, you phone in before 10am if you were due to be in early, or you must give 2 hours notice if it's not an early duty. Everyone uses their entitlement.I suppose they are treated as extra holidays essentially, because if you are really sick, the doctor is free anyway.

Are they holidays or sick days?

What are the new rules I wonder along with the new averages. Love how one department had 14 day average, like 3 working weeks a year on average.May you live in interesting times!

Hmm, sick days. The idea of tracking your entitlement in this respect and making sure not to "lose" them is slightly abhorrent, but the 'I haven't taken a minute off sick in my life!!' martyrs baffle me. Ye must be all either:
- working your dream job;
- doing something so relaxed and automatic that it's never a challenge;
And that's leaving aside the fact that the average person over a long enough time scale does get genuinely sick from time to time.
I'm human. I work a job that requires a decent level of energy and thought and I'll be honest when I say there has been two or three days over the last three years where I woke up and couldn't face it. To those who never have such thoughts I salute your robot brain.
