Local eatery chain Eighteen Chefs has withdrawn a memo informing employees that they must provide a photo of them at a clinic for their sick leave to be valid.
Alison, who worked at the eatery for several years, told Shin Min Daily News that she received the memo through messaging platform WhatsApp last month, with the policy to be implemented with immediate effect.
It stated that all staff members on sick leave are required to provide a valid medical certificate (MC), along with a “photo of themselves taken at the clinic during consultation”.
The memo also said that the eatery will not accept MCs from teleconsultation clinics.
