Are you punished by work if you have road accident?

[kawashima]

Are you punished by work if you have road accident?
For me, if I have road accident, I must report it, and the email about road accident are sent to every employee of the site. Then I and our members must come earlier and stand at entrance for one week in the morning for punishment.
I read every email about road accident in the morning. This may be a typical collective responsibility idea of far east.
Once I found a rider dropped his bike when he was pushing it. I sometimes wonder why he didn't keep it secret but it said he injured his ankle.
I understand every manufacturing site must reduce industrial accidents and commuting accidents, but this email are sent even for non commuting accidents.
One reason I refrain from riding wildly is this. I really hate this idea. Even careful riders and drivers are sometimes involved in unavoidable road accidents while careless riders/drivers commit accidents repeatedly. One day a sport car overtook a bus wildly, there was general affairs manager in the bus, he phoned the staff and told registration number of the car trying to find if he was employee, it was not, but he was trying to deprive his parking permit I heard.
When I heard this I thought this is rather a nightmare.

I see spill counter thread and wondered if this is only me.
How about you?
Or is this typical far east thing?

No. This sort of thing doesn't happen here (as far as I know anyhow), the EU Human Rights lot would be all over it like a rash...

The one thing work can do, is refuse to let you have time off, in the event of an accident...therefore making you use holiday or lieu time to cover absences. I had an accident at work, and I took time off to see the physio, and had to do the above.

I had an accident on my bike, had a month off sick and got full pay. No punishment, just sympathy.

Arguably the accident was my fault because I hit a boot in the road, but then again how many boots do you see lying about the place? It was just what I said, an accident. There was no real blame, and as such my work reacted exactly as I expected they would.

When I had a quite bad accident I'd been in the job about a month.

Had just over 8 months off.. came back, was made redundant 3 weeks later.

Every crash I've ever had has meant me being off work with no pay, longest being about 4 weeks. That was fun.

Can't really remember much from back in Sep '09 with my accident but I don't remember having any issues with work. Gave me a fair amount of time to recover, paid.

I don't get paid if I have an accident on my bike but my colleagues who drive cars have had nothing mentioned to them.

[kawashima]

we often use our paid holidays all up first, then absence from work since then(no pay).　But usually if the off becomes longer, we tend to be given a leave of absence(sick benefit payed).
I know a young guy next to my room works for same site, and has 3 bikes(R1,VTR, nsr50), sometimes go to circuit. I really hope work don't punish him for accident at circuit. There must not be any difference between accidents at baseball game and motorsport.
I may not a real biker yet. Being afraid of punishment and riding slowly.

I broke my ribs in a bike crash, I phoned work to let them know I wouldn't be in.

Went in the next day to milk the sympathy cow . No belittling, no punishment, just concern for my welfare. Japanese culture seems... interesting .

[flat eric]

I work for a large Japanese car company in the Uk and the management(british) were really good with me. I was off for 7 weeks with full pay minus my shift premium (which i will get back from the driver who caused the accident).

I find it amazing they treat you like this.

Do you not have unions to fight against such things? In Europe we have a Court of Human Rights and the UK Human Rights Act that we could use in such cases.

If I have an accident at work then woe betide me if they can lay the blame on me!

And if I have a work related driving accident I'd better have filled in a journey management plan

But I do work for a broom cupboard in Singapore so they don't give much of a shit about european workers rights

I remember when I was at MHI in Honmoku, watching the workforce doing their excercises in the morning. Every single worker out there doing them

It's just a completely different culture.

Actually, perhaps thats why British Leyland went bust, no pre work excercise regime!

Sorry, should clarify - if you get officially signed off, then you are ok to miss work. Otherwise it's you that has to be flexible not them legally as far as I know.
