Many of the teleworkers I interviewed disregarded their illnesses as irrelevant. Despite being in pain or discomfort, they were still able to work, so did not consider taking sick leave. Employers are also partly to blame, for failing to recognise when workers were officially off sick. As a result many employers continued to contact the workers at home during periods of sick leave. The seminar takes place on Friday, June 16 at 12.30pm in Room 0.18 in the Elizabeth Fry Building on campus.
Admission is free.
