Staff having to leave for emergency.?

[Benny4817]

if the roles were reversed and you was the employee what would you do and what would you expect your employer to do. put yourself in their place ?

If that happens 5 times a year it's a a grand..

 

 

Alright mate, I'll clarify.

 

I wasn't in any way insinuating that you were an arsehole. My key word was sincere.

 

I work above and sometimes beyond for my employer. I like to think I'm valued. The other side of that is if I ever had such a situation (I'm thankful that so far I haven't), I'd like to think my employer would be understanding.

 

If it happens five times in a year you either have a mickey taker, or an extremely unfortunate employee. I guess it's down to you on how sincere you seem the situation to be, and how much you value the employee in question.

If it happens once (more likely than 5times..), then you have done the right thing by getting them where they need to be asap.

 

Spend all your time worrying about the what iffs gets you nowhere, just deal with circumstances like an emergency away from the job if and when it happens.

It's often me the boss who has to drop everything and go as my son has a potentially life threatening genetic disorder and can go down hill quickly nd need taking to hospital for tests or treatment even if the job has to stop the lads get paid and understand that unless anything changes tomorrow is yard maintenance and logs.

This makes me I hope quite understanding towards them and anything that may come up which I hope makes for a better atmosphere of trust and understanding which leads to a happier working environment so better production.

Or lots of employees..

 

I am sure I come across on this forum as mean old employer, who doesn't value his staff and treats them like dirt..

 

Personally I think I am fair, and would be a pleasure to work for...

Nah, not at all. I'm an employee, you're an employer. Just different viewpoints.

 

Problem is, if you're soft with staff, they tend to take the mick. If you're too tough, you're a bad guy. Lose lose. Personally if I damage kit, I'll replace it out of conscience. Same applies for emergency absence, I'll take it unpaid or make up the time.

 

I thought this was standard, but from what I've gathered over the years it isn't the norm.
