808 days off for 20 years of work! He was fired for “too much please” and the sentence is out of the fire | New | NOWnews Today News

Licensing regulations in the workplace are often where both employers and employees have to think about communication. If employees ask for leave too often, the company will think they are on the loose, but if regulations are too strict for employees to ask for leave, office workers will think they are inflexible. The controversy also spread frequently. Recently, in the UK, an employee was fired for taking more than 800 days off from the company. Unexpectedly, after he went to court, the verdict came out, but he bypassed everyone.

According to the British media “Mirror”, this Mr. Vic Rumbold, who works for the renowned automobile company “Jaguar Land Rover” (Jaguar Land Rover), has worked for 20 years and is in charge of the manufacturing plant in West Mirandez. Working shifts, but due to poor health, he has taken a total of 808 days off work in the last 20 years. Since 2018, he has been diagnosed with diseases of the hip joint. The condition is so serious that it must be operated on.

Unexpectedly, as Vic’s discharge dates have increased and the frequency has become more and more frequent, the company’s production conditions have been affected. In December of that year, he was fired for “insufficient behavior and ability.” The court presented internal evaluation evidence that the cost of sick leave for the 808-day shift alone was nearly 100,000 pounds (approximately NT $ 3.08 million), not to mention that it has not reached full attendance every year since 2000. , such a bad attendance record. It also makes the company have to make that decision.However, the judge who heard the case believes that the company should comply with procedures related to attendance, warn employees in advance and request improvements. Although the company provided lighter work during the surgical leave and recovery period, Vic could not handle the work that still took a long time to stand. In the end, the company fired him with an unreasonable explanation, which was unfair from both employers ‘and employees’ point of view. The judge said the company should consider the doctor’s suggestion and provide Vic to sit in on a job rather than eject him outright. Therefore, it finally ruled “Jaguar Land Rover”. Compensation must be paid to make up for Vic’s loss. (Editor: Yang Zhijie)
