I understand the advice but what I am getting at is the difference between advice and law. If the person is advised not go to work on the Monday morning, and this may be a selfish thing for the person to do, but the person may say that he or she wants to go to work on the Monday morning as the family has to be fed. They have just been on an expensive holiday for which the family has saved up for some time. The family cannot afford to go on a holiday every year and bought one this year. The Department the person works for allows airlines to fly in and out and the person cannot get a refund and has tried to do so. The person is going on holidays and wants to work on Monday morning. Can that person show up for work on Monday morning or not?
