 Two boys, ages 3 and 1 |
It seems like one of the boys is always sick in our house, so we had to work out a system for sick days since both my husband and I work, and I refuse to take them to day care when they're sick (that's just not fair to other families). Usually we both do half a day, since I can more easily take the morning off and husband can more easily take off the afternoon. How do you handle them in your house?

We do the same thing, we both work and we swap days, or do the 1/2 day thing. We are lucky to both have jobs that are family friendly.

We both just swap. I had her the last time she was sick so he would have her the next time. But if there is something Important going on with his job I stay home.

I have to sacrifice a day of work and try to make up the hours somehow during the pay period. I usually don't get all my hours back, but I try get as many as possible.

Now that my hubby stays home (for the next year) I don't have to worry about that at all, and it is so nice! But, when he goes back into the work force, we'll split the time like we did before.

Usually I am the one that stays home. My work doesn't and can't say anything when I use my sick days. My husband's work on the other hand can give more grief about it and actually will mark him down on evaluations if he has missed. So unless I have a major meeting, then I stay home with sick kids, which is probably better since they usually want mommy anyway!

i have a sick day policy at my office, if you are sick, stay home and don't bring it to me!
if your kids are sick, keep them home so they don't get my kids sick at school. we don't keep up with the days because i believe if you give someone 10 days per year, they will use all ten days. if you make them feel responsible, they will only stay home if necessary. so far it works very well. we are a small business and we take it personally if we leave a fellow employee in the lurch...so we try really hard to be fair and honest. i also believe in mental health days too! |

Softball Mom. I like how you handle sick days..very progressive and drives the right behaviors. I have a career in Human Resources and find these types of policies fasinating. It is amazing how a small policy like this will establish a culture in a company. Peer pressure is a great thing too...many folks probably do not want to be "the one" always out that other people have to cover for.Good for you in thinking out of the box and coming up w/ something that benefits everyone as well as your company!!
