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

If I took ill with a migraine there is no way I could get myself up and dressed and go deliver personal care / administer meds. I wouldn't sign that policy

Surely the more practical thing would be to have an 'on call' rota to ensure instant cover?

There's not enough staff to cover bare minimum, never mind on call. I just left a 15 year career in health and social care.
