i worked for a company that used to let you use holiday entitlement to cover sickness so if you know the boss is an arsehole and the company allows taking holiday entitlement to cover sick periods simply ring in sick and take the sick as holiday entitlement
retail is a bitch to work in you usually find the managers follow their own rules they make up in their head and crap themselves when a greivance procedure is started .
only problem is once you stand up for yourself they usually find another way to get rid of you for somone more compliant
