stevebrum Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Nothing to do with Poole if Janowski has a sick note and refuses to ride.If a doctor has ruled him unfit to ride then there is nothing anybody can do about it. The fact he had a sick note before he was due to ride in a meeting in Poland stinks. The fact Harris was booked given that magic was ok to ride in a meeting also stinks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice Of Reason Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Regarding the issue of 'sick notes' and UK Employment Law. There is, as stated, nothing to stop an individual returning to work before the cessation of a sick note. That decision is purely up to the individual. In a similar vein, it is then the employers responsibility to perform a return to work interview; and during that interview assess whether the individual is fit to return to work. This could involve the input of further medical advice, for assessment on whether the individual is fit to return immediately to their former role; or put onto temporary 'light duties' - with an agreed recovery plan that should be re-visited at least weekly to check progress. If however, an employee returns to work within the period of their sick note and subsequently, at any time thereafter, goes off sick again (even be it the same reason(s) as their original absence), then this is more often than not counted as a completely different period of sickness/absence. However, quite what this has to do in this instance is irrelevant. Because, quite simply, it's clearly, yet again, a further blatant attempt of, well let's just say, a particular club gaining an unfair advantage. And when that particular club has so much 'previous' it's extremely difficult for the rest of us to convey any sympathy; nor for an element of doubt to raise its head. Only the true Poole psychophants will think (or say) otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I actually don't blame Poole... The rules are there to be abused... Firstly, it is the responsibility of those in charge to ensure that the rules are 'water tight' and secondly they then need to take effective action (up to and including disciplinary action) if the rules are blatantly abused.. Speedway has no independent body/person in charge so neither will/can ever happen.. And on this nonsense will go... And on the attendance's will continue to dwindle.... And on will continue British Speedway's 'Mickey Mouse' reputation.. Edited May 19, 2015 by mikebv 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like it change the rules. It's a simple solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Not true actually. A few years back Joe Screen was signed off sick with a back injury. It was all an average fixing scam. The authorities investigated and stopped the team involved from gaining the advantage they were after. As a bit of fun, do want to play guess the team trying to cheat? The answer was Poole or to use the modern term cheating scumbags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyderd Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I think that's exactly how a sick note works actually. A doctor can give me a note to say I've done my knee and signs me off for 6 weeks. Doesn't mean I can't still go to work if I want to one day and have the next off because it's sore or I don't fancy it. Think you will find that if you did as you say and suffered some sort of accident at work related to your sick note, then the company's insurer will not pay out. I have never heard of anybody doing as you claim, I myself had Cancer and had to be signed off the sick in order to return to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 When I was no the sick a couple of years ago my employer would not let me back to work until either the note expired or I got a fit note. The official line was due to insurance as Hydred mentions. The solution was for em to work part time flexi-time but I'm not sure that works for a speedway rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 SCB were you self emloyed ? I wasn't so I agree it's not exactly the same. But what amazes me is speedway riders will moan about wet tracks, grippy tracks etc and we hear how riders health is important. Then we have a rider with a drs note saying he is not fit to riding going out on track with 3 other riders. If I was a rider I'd be a little concerned that the guy next to be was considered unfit by a medical expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
