Advice for issues at work - Dependability/Disciplinary
Discussion
Good Morning Ladies & Gents,
I am currently facing a disciplinary meeting due to recent absence from work. And the particular absence that has been picked up on is four days when my one year old was rather poorly.
My Manager has stated that she feels that this time should have been shared with my wife, to look after our boy.
The situation around it, is known to my Manager. We both work, my Wife was away for training (that she was leading), and therefore couldn't take time from her job, and the sharing still happened anyway as as soon as she got home she took over.
Also, our Son was poorly not long before this, and Nicole took time off work instead of me.
Usually, my Mum would assist, however at the time she was receiving chemo for bladder cancer.
It was all a rather tricky situation but I would still do the same thing now, as my Son comes first.
What I wanted to know is, am I able (or would I have a right to), ask where my absence sits within the team? As in the stats etc? I have provided evidence for any other absences from my GP, and from January to July, I had zero annual leave, nor sickness.
Despite all this, my Manager has told me that because she has had so much sickness and absence within the team (note, not me, the team), she is now taking people to discipline.
So in a nutshell, would I be entitled to know where my absence level sits in the team? I don't want individual info on any one person, that's not my business. But I would be interested to know the above.
Many Thanks
