An arrangement is described for manual workers of an oil refinery to certify their own short spells of sickness absence instead of obtaining a medical certificate. No serious abuse has been found, and these spells of absence are more evenly spread throughout the week than those certified by a doctor. This system can help to reduce both the work-load of practitioners and the lost time in industry.
文中描述了一种针对炼油厂体力劳动者的安排,即由他们自行证明自己短期的病假情况,而无需获取医生证明。尚未发现严重的滥用情况,而且这些病假时段在一周内分布得比医生开具证明的病假更为均匀。该系统有助于减轻从业者的工作量,也能减少行业内的误工时间。
