Number of staff turning up when they are ill has trebled since 2010 A sore throat and a sniffle won’t keep Britons away from work, a new survey has revealed.

The number of employees still going into work when they’re ill has more than tripled since 2010, according to a survey of hundreds of British workers.

The rise in workers suggests employees feel increasingly under pressure to work longer and harder, even when their health is at risk, the Times reported.

The survey examined 1,021 companies, who represented 4.6 million workers.

In 2016 72 per cent of employees came into work ill, up from 26 per cent in 2010. The Daily Mail
