MC go work?

[questionedfish]

Haha...looking at the replies you are leaving everyone guessing. There's no model answer lah.

 

If wanna tell might as well tell the whole story.

 

Sometimes I feel some ppl are still in primary school, very afraid to tell the teacher that they need to go toilet. I mean you too have the social responsibility to tell your immediate boss you are not feeling well. You will not get yourself or ppl around you into trouble. Have you gone thru NS? "Anyone not feeling well" is not asking for fun.

 

Now looks like too late, already happened. Asking whether got implications. You know yourself whether you are fit for work. Any time not feeling well you should stop and tell someone & not wait for something to happen.

 

It goes like this..

 

I went to see the doc in the evening and am offered mc for the next day which i rejected. So take med nia lor

 

Thing is, if i had taken the mc for next day and something happen to me if i go back work, then how? Knowing that my boss dislike people taking mc also?

[questionedfish]

he is saying unless Bro RADx is call in... then one is fit to work...

 

He go far far bettar

[Jman888]

If you go work when you're on MC, and something unfortunate happen to you during the course of work, are there any implications?

 

Company insurance/hospital still applicable?

 

 

if you are talking about insurance, I believe it is still claimable.

You already know the answer. Why ask me?

 

Anyway when doctor issue one day MC to me I rather not take coz I will only delay my work and ppl are waiting for me. If doc give consecutive days dan it must be quite serious and I will go home and rest. I do not want ppl to think I'm unprofessional, come up with mc and whatever excuse on important work days.

 

Anyway in sgp it's compulsory for companies to buy workman compensation insurance and medical insurance for their workers. You have nothing to worry.

[WTF]

I was recently in such a situation.

 

HR told me to stop coming to work during the course of MC and informed my boss against asking me to come back to work. The company would not want to answer to MOM if anything happened and it could affect insurance claims from what I was told.

Actually it depends how sick you are. Nowadays when you go see doctor, most of the time doctor surely will give you MC. But sometimes you really not that sick and just want to see doctor to get some medicine. Few weeks ago i have cough only and went to see doctor, and the doctor also offered to give me MC, but i rejected cause it is cough and i still able to go to work.

It won't affect claims on insurance. MOM will make their live difficult filling up forms and they will come every now and dan to ask a lot of questions. It's very disruptive to the company's operation. Also they will want to see the big boss and question him. Down the chain of command the supervisors and managers will get an earful from the big boss.

Workmen Comp is for certain level workers or apply to all?

Google "Work Injury Compensation Act".

I just learned...

In Taiwan... if sick, go see doctor get MC, deduct 50% pay.

If no MC, consider absent from work. Either deduct AL or 100% pay for the day.

So, most of them don't take MC unless really cannot get out of bed.

We are so so fortunate to be here...

some companies have benefits that if you didn't use the amt of medical benefits, you get to take a portion of the $ at the end of the year......

Is your boss in a better position than the doctor to question how your medical condition is at that point of time? I don't think so.

 

But I know many managers/bosses don't like employees taking MC. It really depends on the work place culture.

 

If I am sick and my boss forces me to work, I would ask him if he can be answerable if anything happens to me. But thankfully, my boss is very understanding.

 

[Porche]

sick means no work....my boss try to encourage no MC for whole year, end of the year company disburse your annual medical benefit to you. When u r sick, u r unfit for work.

[Ysc3]

I pity the staff that happen to be under you if you subscribe to this notion.

 

dun have to pity them ... i can't force it on them ... i can only practice what i preach myself ... no mc for the past five years although have been to the polyclinic a few times a year for my meds.

 

but i only pity those (incl myself) who have to work double hard to fill in the missing persons.

[Aimnfire]

ya. if the person dunno i'm on mc? how

 

then inform the person u on mc

 

my engineer make noise one certain employee that took mc

i told him

doctor certify him unfit to work

who are we to question doctor decision and profession

from then on my engineer LL
