'A responsible employee who is genuinely sick should be allowed to take some time off work without having to produce documentary evidence.'
MR PAUL HENG: 'When it comes to boss-employee relationships, there is a mutual lack of trust, and the belief that managers are more responsible and trustworthy compared to the rank and file ('Honour system won't work, say bosses and HR experts'; last Tuesday). The sooner we change this mindset, the better it will be for all. A responsible and trustworthy employee who is genuinely sick, or just feeling under the weather, should be allowed to take some time off work without having to produce documentary evidence. Bosses should also be discerning enough to request medical certificates from staff who have a habit of falling sick often.'
