Happy National Sickie Day everyone!

Apparently today is National Sickie Day; the day of the year when most employees are likely to ring in and lie through their teeth about why they won’t be in work.

Seems that 350,000 employees are expected to ring in and make their excuses today, and the likely cost to the economy could be in the region of £30 million.

For further information and links to press items (if you can manage to raise your weary body from your sick-bed) stagger over to the HR Case Studies site!
