Foreign Teacher Sickness Report
If you need to call in sick, Tina is the FIRST person to call. Maria and/or Linda is your SECOND person to call. Any other Branch Manager is your THIRD person to call. Any branch reception is your FOURTH port of call. If you are sick the night before, a "heads up" notification is really appreciated.
If you are out partying and know you cannot face your students the next morning, please try and find cover on your own and then notify Maria and/or Tina with information about who will cover for you. This is better than waiting until the next morning.
Please be sensitive to the timing of when you verbally report your sickness. Calling relevant personnel at 4 am will not enable them to find cover for you at that time. If you need cover for kinder or weekend branch classes, please call at 6.30 am, if not, the night before is better or find cover on your own then notify the appropriate personnel. For weekday evening classes, between 8am and 9am the same day, if not, the night before is better.
If you are unable to teach your scheduled classes due to sickness (which includes classes you have agreed to cover), please fill in the form below. This should be done after you have telephoned, or spoken face to face, with appropriate personnel to let them know your situation. You must speak with relevant personnel and not leave messages of any kind, such as text or email. Not speaking to relevant personnel will be regarded as unauthorized leave of absence and be treated as such in accordance with the BDW Teachers Handbook.
