thanks for all the advice,peeps,and just to set the record straight,here's another example of what happens:I've had two injuries at work that required hospital treatment(nothing major,couple of stitches each time) and having filled in the accident report book for each occasion,thought nothing more of it until a fellow workmate also had an accident and discovered that my report sheets weren't filed with the rest and found a note to my supervisor stating that he was keeping mine in his safe away from the others.Also the time taken off for the hospital treatment was later used as 'unauthorised abscences' to give me a written warning for absenteeism (6 days since Xmas,4 of which were the days i went to hospital and then had to return the next day!).Also,I hadnt been given any verbal warnings prior to the written.I understand about the 'what happens to other employees' bit,i just wanted to ppaint the overall atmosphere and dealings at my works.By the way,recently they sacked two people who have since returned because the proper procedures weren't followed....hope this clarifies things a little.
