Has anyone here heard of this garbage?
BRADFORD FACTOR
I have fallen foul of it at work, as in the last year I have 3 absences, 1x10 day (signed off through stress, mum in hospital etc), 1x3 day, and 1x4 day.
According to the BF score I got 510, and they say above 450 "Recommend Dismissal"
They took away the 10 days signed off and as a result I got a verbal warning.
So basic I have to drive to work next time I'm ill possible endangering other motorist and possible breaking the law as this system means they could sack me.
I have never been treated like and other have have worst than me.
Plus this it what has been said about this system, which to me says "Only companies that that have zero respect for their staff, and want to drag them down" use this system, which totally sums up my company.

It was originally designed for use as part of the overall investigation and management of absenteeism. In contrast, if used as part of a very limited approach to address absence or by setting unrealistically low trigger scores it was considered short-sighted, unlikely to be successful and could lead to staff disaffection and grievances. The use of the Bradford Factor often provokes heated debate.

But using a calculator online is say it shouldn't be a issue.
But like I say my company has moved the goal posts to give me a higher score.
