Faking it | The truth about 'fake sick days'

UK workers who lied to take a sick day from work cost UK employers a staggering £5.6billion in 2019, new research has found.

The data, which was conducted by office suppliers Viking, reported that, on average, staff admitted that they weren’t actually ill for 38% of the sick days that they took off last year, resulting in 51.9million ‘fake sick days’ being taken.
