[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 368037, member: 55568"] That used to be common in the public sector. [i]'I'll take a years sick and then push for early retirement'.[/i] The inconvenience to the employer, school, hospital etc. was that they had to do without a member of staff, pay their sick pay and pay for a stand in, usually at a much higher rate. After one year, it was easier to offer early retirement on the grounds of ill health. The employee got 7 to 10 years enhanced pension years service and the employer got rid of the problem, which was moved from their budget and onto the government's budget. After about 25 years of this, government started to twig to what was going on and are now attempting to stop it. It was common 20 years ago to see NHS jobs advertised as [i]'with generous sick pay'.[/i] [/QUOTE]
