Infact, the only story I’ve heard about someone getting fired for being OOP, was someone who would repeatedly sit RSV at home (5 states away) and just call in OOP if he got called.
Bottom line, do your job as well as you can. Be honest about trying to get to work, and It will be fine.
You know I will agree with you on this one but I see the point being made. I get a dependability email at least twice a year. RSV totally blows and the wife works so it’s tuff getting things covered sometimes.
Only once I got an email about a “request for additional information” about a sick call. Boom goes the dynamite I sent in a doctors note...To be honest with you I was really ****ed about being asked to provide one because I have never been sick on holidays, or ever OOP or traveling on sick days... Never heard a word about it after that... (I’m probably on double secret probation) ...I continued to be ****ed about it so I called in sick for a whole weekend...you know to cool off
I got another dependability review, but this time however I got a “no need to respond email after looking at your records...”
So I don’t get this policy implementation, seems random to me.
But from the companies point of view...What recourse would the company have if they didn’t have it.
If I was on RSV getting called to fly SDQ red eye turns with the new guys all the time because (plane Jane) is in NC on SCL in JFK banging out sick every 0300 show time ...ya I would want the CP to do something about it.
On the flip side...if you are a target let’s say...you file a grievance and it’s going to cost the company big bucks...and months later you have a late report and they bring up a dependability review...They could give you the option of resigning, or dropping your grievance.
(Because that could never happen?)
