Sick leave
After this recently released study on discrimination at work, the Migraine Trust in the UK has decided to make migraine and workplace issues their focus during the coming year.
Alan Bartle, chief executive of The Migraine Trust, believes that part of the problem is the way work places have set up their sick leave policies. Many work places are set up to deal with sicknesses lasting a week or two. But the migraineur often has a day or two here or a day or two there. Under many policies, a day or two is treated as seriously as a week or two.
