To lighten the mood a little during the festive season, we thought you might enjoy reading some of the “interesting” excuses employees have offered up for absence.

  • My bed was too comfy and I didn’t want to get out of it
  • I dreamt I was at work and thought I was there – so I stayed asleep
  • I didn’t have any clean clothes
  • I couldn’t find my car in the car park
  • My dog weed on my suit
  • I have a cotton bud stuck in my ear
  • I’ve been bitten by a llama
  • My hamster is depressed
  • I’ve run out of money for my bus fare – after a great night out

We could go on, but we’re not sure you would believe us!

Seriously – we know absence isn’t a laughing matter, so please contact us on 01256 328 428, if you would like help with managing absence in your business or fill out the form below.
