1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nason, no matter.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: Of arms to the pub test.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 3: Medical certificates for a few days off? Does this pass

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 3: the pub test?

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: Well?

6
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 3: I was reading an article by an Australian GP who

7
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 3: says I didn't sign up to medicine to do HR

8
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 3: policy on behalf of large corporations. He's seeing at least

9
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 3: three people every day who aren't sick enough normally to

10
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 3: see a doctor, but need a medical certificate to spend

11
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 3: time off work. He said. It stops me seeing people

12
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: who really do need to see me. But employers are

13
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 3: entitled to be given evidence of employees taking sick time.

14
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: What do you think medical certificates for a few days off?

15
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 3: Does it passed the pub test?

16
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: Now?

17
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't believe they do. As a full time employee,

18
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: you are entitled to a certain amount of sick leaves

19
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: and sometimes you just need a mental health day. And

20
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: to sit in a doctor's surgery to tell them that

21
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: you need a mental health day, you might be completely

22
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: ropable by the time you get in there.

23
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 4: I work in HR and I think they absolutely passed

24
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 4: the pub test. We've got a duty of care to

25
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 4: make sure that in are well when they return to work,

26
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 4: so absolutely part of the pub sept well.

27
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 5: I can remember back in the day when if you

28
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 5: didn't take a sick leave in a year you got

29
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 5: paid out. So if you didn't have a sick day,

30
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 5: or if you had allocated sick days and you didn't

31
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 5: take them, then they used to give you the money

32
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 5: at the end of the year.

33
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: I think they do for more than two days. But

34
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: as for the certificates, a lot of chemist now provides

35
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: certificates for a fee, which makes sense because if you're

36
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: not feeling well, you get it a chemist for the

37
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: cops here a bore pop medicine, so in that regard

38
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: they're not that hard to get.

39
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: Now that would make more sense, would you you're picking

40
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 3: up your supplies, you get yourself when you're not chucking

41
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: up the medical system.

42
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 5: Thank you for all your calls.
