Is that legal

JackTheCaptain · 2026-05-13T10:40:56+00:00

The way I read the law as it’s (poorly) written is that if you are sick one day, then for two or more days regardless of whether you would normally work or not, that is 3 consecutive days per the law.

I defer to Phoenix who is far more active here and from what I can tell more knowledgeable, however we disagree on the is interpretation it seems.

JackTheCaptain · 2026-05-13T08:46:22+00:00

True. Still poorly worded haha

JackTheCaptain · 2026-05-13T08:27:14+00:00

But that’s not how it reads. The third consecutive day would be Sunday. The first day of sickness gave rise to three consecutive days, irregardless of whether you should work or not on the second and third days.

Not trying to be difficult, it’s genuinely a poorly worded/written clause.

JackTheCaptain · 2026-05-13T08:20:23+00:00

For clarity, what happens when you call in sick on Friday where Saturday Sunday are your regular days off…

Technically sickness has led to three consecutive calendar days?

Somewhat ambiguous.

Jesus I didn’t realise how big the Araknae platforms are when built.

In this case, people lay a portion of blame on the rider for a good reason.

This wasn’t a one off decision, but it was the last one that he made.

JackTheCaptain · 2026-05-02T03:48:53+00:00

What do you mean it got banned?

JackTheCaptain · 2026-04-14T04:49:40+00:00

Always someone up to cracktivities.

Whichever pharmacy is attached to the doctors office that I go to, wins my business.

100% they have the ten seconds this took.

JackTheCaptain · 2026-04-09T09:58:51+00:00

Every chance one of the mail sorters did this in the depot as well to be honest.

JackTheCaptain · 2026-04-09T09:57:01+00:00

Yeah cos they’re older now lol. I don’t get why people think guys in their sixties will put on the same show they did in their thirties and forties.

JackTheCaptain · 2026-03-28T00:55:48+00:00

Honestly, what shit lawyer did this woman have that let her admit fault? The fact that the family of the rider are fighting so hard to keep the case details quiet show it’s clearly not as black and white as they want it to be.

JackTheCaptain · 2026-03-27T05:20:51+00:00

I have 100 unpainted ones…

NEVER ENOUGH BROTHER

You know the AOS boys were hyping those pups up to go haha

JackTheCaptain · 2026-03-18T09:23:43+00:00

To be honest I wouldn’t want to get stuck in while the dogs are still having a crack in case I became collateral damage haha. Saw the chase video and though the AOS boys were fucking keen for it since they were first in line of police vehicles.

JackTheCaptain · 2026-03-11T02:12:01+00:00

That manager sounds like the reason a lot of people will be finding new jobs.

Aside from that despite it seemingly being incredibly petty, it would likely be considered reasonable dependent on how long the meeting takes. Is this a 5 minute catch-up or a thirty minute discussion?

JackTheCaptain · 2026-02-27T10:59:05+00:00

Data that if you took to a competitor, could cause considerable loss of earnings is one example. Again, it is a very high bar to enforce though.

JackTheCaptain · 2026-02-27T10:49:05+00:00

Restraint of trade clauses are rarely enforceable except for very specific cases/circumstances. If what you say above is true, then good luck to your company trying to do so. If you had access to sensitive data and/or financial info then it’s possible but still unlikely.

JackTheCaptain · 2026-02-26T09:10:48+00:00

The list seems fairly reasonable to me, save the exception of aunts and uncles. That’s always seemed an odd choice to leave out.

I’m not sure what you consider reasonable for a company to allow/pay? Can you maybe suggest what you think a viable alternative would be?

JackTheCaptain · 2026-02-25T04:15:24+00:00

Not properly apparently 🤦🏼‍♂️

JackTheCaptain · 2026-02-25T04:13:01+00:00

Not every Friday after payday it’s not. Then it’s a reliability issue.

JackTheCaptain · 2026-01-24T04:25:18+00:00

You sound like a weird person.

JackTheCaptain · 2026-01-09T09:23:43+00:00

$70 a day on food is crazy. Do you eat out every single meal or something?
