We are often on the employer side of this waiting for 2-3 months for a new starter to finish his/her notice. It's not a problem as such but what does do is gives you as the employee time to continue courting the market with a firm offer up your sleeve.
We have had it on more than one occasion where an accepted confirmed candidate has come back 2.5 months after accepting the job saying "err thanks but I just got offered this other job and they beat your offer by £5k and some holiday". Gets right on my goat
I am on 3 months notice an know there would be no way of me being able to work one day less. Other people however have been walked out of the door on receipt of the letter of resignation. It depends on your role/risk/value to the business. So if you want to cut it short you will need to give them reason why they would not want you to sit at their desk for 2 months ____________________ "no I didn't steal it that's just the way I ride" |

Sure but working a job whilst you're off 'sick' from another is taking the piss They abuse the system and make it harder for genuinely sick people. |

I agree with MC etc, but I'd not take 3months unpaid leave from work for illness. Most of the illness/injury I've had over the years at work, (other than cold/flu/ gastroenteritis etc) has either happened at or been caused by work.
I think I've once had time off maybe a week, after a mountain biking accident where I bashed myself up a bit, but everything else was at work.
I also like MC once had a good sick record, maybe 3days off in 3years or less. I've now got a terrible sick record according to the accumulated sick metrics they use.
In the last 5years, I've had my worst health ever, and been through all the usual shit like stress, depression, anxiety, cancer, and had heart rhythm and respiratory problems.
I like work though, like a challenge and like to achieve and get a good result, so in my mind every day I'm well enough to work I give it my all and always will! But I've told my employer I've had all the above and some are non resolved issues, so if I don't feel well enough to come in and work at 100% tomorrow or a Thursday in 3weeks time etc, that I won't, and also I'm not going to promise a good attendance if I havnt got the health to back it up. They really didn't like this though (slightly to my surprise, as I've laid all my honest hand on heart cards on the table).
I view my and many employers with huge distrust now and some resentment that I've never had before, but now it just sits simmering under the surface. I've been told I need an excellent sick record in the next 3years to avoid disciplinary procedures, warnings and what I view as threats.
I've collapsed once at work this year, and put my colleagues and the public in danger a couple of times too. But the nasty and unfair view of my employer on sickness, has made things personal for me and I see it as a conflict where one of us if it comes to the crunch will win or lose. They've now got a very bloody minded fighter against them now, as I don't see a common or agreed view ever happening again.
I sometimes don't get employer's when they can Base helping or gunning down a person on a stat alone. I see so many people that don't contribute much or take the piss out of the employer with time keeping, work rates or quality. But they turn up every day, and while they'll never care or be decent honest staff, they have a tick in the box for excellent attendance, which seems like a get out of jail free card.
Where as the hard working, do the extra mile types, but that have had some lengthly health troubles, that they try to work with and through are the bad bad men, who need the hammer blow of discipline and threat from above, because they don't have that tick in a box? |

Well I had put in for it before my back went (I physically wanted a break), then it 'went' and they approved the leave knowing I'd be off for a while anyway It was more of an example of taking a break from work without 'going sick' like some people do, although obviously not everyone can afford to financially.
Also I've found the opposite, I should have been disciplined a couple of times already, but have been let off due to my (previous) record. Maybe that's a bit unfair but I see it as example of how it works both ways, and they're not a nice employer prone to any sympathy usually |
