Hi there i have been at my new job for just over a month and i have already had four days off.?

If you goto work sick and they *allow* you to work around food while sick, it'd be best to find another job, because anybody with common sense knows not to let sick people work around Food, You would be endangering others in getting sick, and you can contaminate the food with the illness you have and therefore making others sick that eat the food. You come first not the Job, think about that.
