How are you dealing with this year's flu season?
This year's flu season is affecting workers, insurance companies and employers alike.
Employees with no paid sick time are having to make the tough decision of not getting paid and staying home or going to work with a fever and body aches. With the bad economic state of our nation, many are choosing coming to work sick than the alternative. Being out of work even for one day can be equivalent of going a month with out groceries, not being able to pay the utilities or not being able to complete rent.
Businesses who do have sick time for their employees are seeing an increase in their operational expenses all while seeing a decrease in productivity. Insurance companies are of course being affected as well with all of these patients needing medical attention. So needless to say, the worst flu season in the last decade is affecting everyone.
How is it affecting you? Do you own a business that is now seeing more requests for sick time? What is your company's sick time policy?
Many people are affected in flu during the flu season. It specially affects on the business productivity. When the number of employees are affected in flu results low amount of productivity for the business. In our country it is same like that. Managers suffer to manage the position of the sick employees. They usually follow short term outsourcing if the sickness increases rapidly.
