Going to work when your sick

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Barstaff salary or bargirl retainer?

I know a few places that have disproportionately large penalties for missing days that are not booked off well in advance. I can understand why, even if I wouldn't do it as an employer myself.

You can understand why a pimp would illegally deduct (steal) a person's wages if they were too sick to come to work?

Please expound.

Pimp?

What are you talking about?

Yes, I understand why business owners may deduct wages from their staff in the event of them missing work. I may not agree with it, and would not do it myself but I can understand that it may be seen as necessary by some to stop a staff collectively taking the piss.

As for the legality of such a move; well that would depend upon the staff members contract of employment, wouldn't it??

I think some people try to find an excuse, but I really understand more than you,guys that being a woman is not easy!!!!!
I also I have this problem when I have period. Can't even sleep. But Never take a day off by telling the boss that I've period. Just tell him, I'm not well. He'll know I must be not fine because I rarely take a day off, only one or two days per year. I wish I could be a man :(
