If you are going to pull a sick day then it is probably best not to write about it on Facebook. Remember this is like walking down Grafton street with a banner telling everyone what you are doing.
A recent study indicated that employers are increasingly spying on personal websites like Facebook to find out what workers are doing. By all reports this investigation is legitimate as the Office of the Data Commissioner has warned employees there is little legal protection if they publish this stuff online.
The survey indicated that 83pc of employers surveyed said they monitored Facebook pages to check the validity of absences, while 67pc said they then disciplined staff.
So if you are going to pull a sickie then wrap up in your duvet and watch some Oprah. Remember to say offline.
