    When it comes to full-time salaried jobs, I think the terms are better? I’m not sure though. Every job I’ve had except when I worked retail as a teenager would pay me for my sick days from day 1.

      That’s kind of crazy, and must be detrimental to public health if teenagers working retail are coming in and spreading around contagious diseases.

        I think it does work the other way too (not defending bad employers) where some teenagers would very much have a mentality of calling in sick regularly and it just so happens to be nice weather that day. But yeah you do see some people who are unwell working retail because they can’t afford to not work, especially single parents.

          Ankle monitor bracelet to make sure they don’t leave the house when they pull a sickie then innit? Or maybe just don’t pay them and let them share their tape worms?
