Is It Acceptable To Pull a ‘Sicky’ To Go on Holiday?

Facing an employee who's pulling a 'sicky'?
It's a common HR dilemma, which we tackle in our latest HR:ER podcast! A lucky employee won 10k on a scratch card and booked a holiday without authorisation, quoting "I'll just pull a sicky" when their holiday request was rejected.
So what can HRs do? We share emergency measures HRs can implement to prevent 'sickies' happening in the workplace, including:
- What steps should HR take when an employee threatens to call in sick after being denied time off?
- What disciplinary actions or consequences should employers consider for employees who take unauthorised leave? Is it a breach of trust?
- As an HR professional, how do you prove employees are actually pulling a sicky?
- What preventative policies should HRs have in place to make sure this doesn’t happen in future?
