WEST MIDLANDS POLICE 'ALWAYS THERE' SCHEME

Early day motion 256, tabled 2 December 2002 by Lord Watson of Wyre Forest (Labour). Signed by 22 members.

That this House congratulates the West Midlands Police Force for the success of its 'Always There' scheme to increase the attendance of its employees; notes that the scheme has led to a significant decrease in the number of staff taking sick leave; further notes that this has been achieved through the use of long-term awards, such as an additional three days banked annual leave for employees who achieve five years without sick leave; and calls on this House to encourage other public services to offer similar incentives in the workplace.
