Employees do call in sick from time to
time, but police are unusual in getting unlimited sick time.
I don’t practice personal injury law. Last year my Son in law represented a homeowner being sued by a handyman who claimed he was injured on the job. Records showed the handyman was a cop who had called in sick for the 8 days he was painting the house for the homeowner.
The injury turned out to be bogus and he was dismissed from his police position after losing a contract obligated arbitration. He took a plea deal to avoid prison time for an assortment of crimes committed running a long time handyman side business while on the municipal clock, but he did lose his pension.
I don’t object to an employee taking an occasional sick day when not really ill, but in need of a mental health day. I do object to the employee being paid for the sick day and also other work for the same time period.
