Sick Leave
 December 12, 2005

Traditionally, law firms have focused on programs designed to encourage staff members to limit their use of sick leave. Several firms use a quarterly drawing for prizes such as a use of the firm’s seats for sporting events and concerts, in which only employees with no sick leave usage may participate. With greater flu concerns, some managers fear that the programs have been too successful. According to a recent survey, 80% of office workers say they frequently show up for work when they are feeling sick. In fact, only eight percent say they never come to work sick.
