I'm a home carer and this is my works new sickness policy.

Am I being unreasonable to think it's ridiculous that they will now make us go to work sick until they find cover?

Should I challenge this ?
Or is this standard procedure in care industry

Absolute madness! If you're sick you can't be supporting elderly/vunerable people. Send to cqc, get their thoughts on it

So they are saying that if you are projectile vomiting and suffering from diarrhoea you are still to come to work until you can phone at 7am and cover can arrive?!
Impossible, not to mention irresponsible. Imagine if all the residents came down with it. I imagine relatives would not be happy if that happened.

YANBU to think they’re being ridiculous.
