The National Insurance Scheme (NIS) paid out $24 million in sick leave claims at the end of 2016 and Minister of Labour Dr Esther Byer-Suckoo has embarked on a mission to remedy the problem.
Speaking at a church service marking the 50th anniversary of the National Insurance Department at the St Michael’s Cathedral yesterday, Byer-Suckoo said she has already begun to petition the island’s medical practitioners to think twice before prescribing sick leave.
“We have begun discussions with the members of the medical fraternity, with the Barbados Association of Medical Practitioners to sensitize the medical profession to the impact of prescribing sick leave when other options could be just as effective,” the Minister of Labour said.
She lamented that the large volume of sick leave claims had also created a backlog of “unacceptable delays in processing”, but assured that the NIS would ensure Barbadians received their benefits.
Some 54, 000 people benefited from last year’s sick leave payouts and Byer-Suckoo urged Barbadians to adopt healthier lifestyles to fight off the epidemic of non-communicable diseases, which she suggested, was a major contributor to the number of sickness and disability claims being processed by the National Insurance Department.
“The prevalence of non-communicable diseases continues to be a concern for all of us including us at the National Insurance Department. We have to continue on the path of prevention and it is our individual responsibility to lead healthier lives,” warned Byer Suckoo, who is also a medical doctor.

Of course when the government cant find the money to pay it would be a problem. These same people are claiming within the guidlines set out by the NIS not so? While i can agree people abuse the system, the reality is the scheme is now over burdened and is looking at ways to reduce paying out.
Tarrah Innis, is this person a real doctor? what is the alternative when or if someone is sick? Would the work place and the doctor take the responsibility in a law suit should the person drop dead or cause serious injuries on the job depending on the case. She said the benefits paid out were $24m., is that for the year 2016? A million is ten hundred thousand however you twist it or that figure is from the time they stared paying sick leave.

The way this DLP Gov’t treat the people of Barbados surprised Barbados is still working, they the Gov’t are making the working class sick with all the Taxes they have to endure.And now they are complaining.
I wish Bajan would stopped complaining about paying taxes ask any one who owns a house in Long island or or up state N Y about paying taxes.
@Anthony Williams you want bajans to know you living on L I or where ever, its no comparison, you pay your taxes and have the benefits, do you have to call the IRS and wait 2/3 years for your return, if you are a home owner, you know what you can claim every year. I would not say anything more for now.
Stupse this is Barbados not new York or long island
ThickkMadame Scantlebury Exactly, what has New York or Long Island got to do with Barbados? Bajans have far too many problems of their own without having America’s as well.

So Long Island my ass, who feels it knows. Somebody send you long Island to live u had choices, we don’t even have that.
Gavin Dawson she is referring to the clown who sees the need to compare our plight to that of someone owning a house in Long Island. Congrats Sir you can pay your taxes.
Anthony Williams it is stupid ppl like you that help have the country the way it is too. Wanna like comparing this little island to big states. Brother man we are in a different league from them. A small fry.

Dear Minister, are you saying doctors are giving sick leave to persons who aren’t sick? Or to your mind don’t need it? The NIS I believe was out of the need to protect and help persons not capable of working . Not for Government to spend at will. It’s what we work for……HARD!!
Precisely smh I caan understand her logic . Sick leave was long before God knows when .It’s just that nuh money ain’t there to pay we so them want it look as though sick leave is the Damn problem stupseeeeee ..
True it is not a lending agency or a loan scheme .It is to help workers who fall ill.
Am wondering what would be the alternative to sick leave then as she said??
Death benefit
Eddy Murray u too funny. Mek me laugh at this time of the morning

People only get sick because they can’t get what they want . Why you refusing to give them a raise of pay.. Give them a raise of pay and you will see the difference.

Are you stupid???. Tell the public how much money did the sorry excuse for a government rake in with NIS . Employers are already mistreating employees, over working them and we gets no help from the powers in charge because politicians don’t have to go thru what we go thru not to mention that you all can and does be easily bribe to have things in employers favor. Prices are already sky high where as you can’t buy something proper to feed yourself and your children so our body’s can’t handle the load. So unless you want to see more people dropping down dead from unknown illnesses keep you f#$%ing mouth shut and talk about more money for employees and we income tax.

Is this the same National Insurance Scheme that pumping $76 million into the construction and/or refurbishment of five police station complexes across the island.
Three of the four being built will be completed on time and on budget. Construction of the fifth, at Six Roads, St Philip, is yet to start. This has been revealed not only by the director of the National Insurance Department, Ian Carrington, but by Attorney General Adriel Brathwaite, as they toured the new District “D” Police Station and Magistrates’ Court at Cane Garden, St Thomas.
Or we have two National Insurance Scheme in Barbados
$24 million in sick leave claims at the end of 2016 is of great concern to Minister of Labour Dr Esther Byer-Suckoo but not $76 million been pumped into the construction and/or refurbishment of five police station complexes across the island.

All that happen you know due to your government keep using up the NIS funds that its running low so you prefer if people sick that they still go to work while your government spending it on failed projects or putting it in their friends pockets .Lets see when you go back to being a medical doctor after elections what you gonna tell your patients then . You does talk a roll of s..te Suckoo

This is not a fair statement, there is no doctor under this sun can tell me I’m not sick they might not see on examination the reasons for my feelings and how would a doctor deny me the necessary documentation to get sick benefit……we are putting a lot of value on the cost and not the people.

I can’t even say i hope she loose her seat because she didn’t win but still a Minister people pay NIS for a reason we are only human so at some point you will be sick this woman don’t want bajans to claim for nothing people like her i hope NEVER get sick and if ever return the cheque when it comes in the post
The sad thing is she supposed to be a doctor and should know better, this is a person that at some point in time give out sick leave in her profession. So sad what politricks have made her become.
She’s really mashing up her career.
I can say that they certainly need to get rid of her! These politician are all for themselves..how dare her make such assumptions! People taxes remember, not yours!
Eleanor she is being ridiculous some of us are offered sick leave and don’t take it because you take the medication hoping it would work and you feel better but every time she have something negative to say about the employees and some employers making staff smell hell in the work places
** you are not paid from the employer when you are on sick leave so she think people will stay home if they don’t have a valid reason
She bash employees for low productivity in the work place did she ever ask what are some of the factors for the low productivity
She allowed the employers to most of the rights to cut the employees tail
Sheena Sunshine This is a minister and a stupid one at that ,she never stands up for the rights of employees but always have something negative to say about people trying to work for a honest dollar. if she could find the time to meet with doctors to tell them cut down on giving persons that are sick any leave it just goes to shows she cares nothing about people . I just hope when she returns to being a medical doctor that she gets no patients spending the salary they work hard for with her if they become ill.
Sean it’s not fair that each time she keeps making public statements bashing employees if a person gets into an accident, if someone had surgery things happen that will cause for long periods of sick leave but i guess she’s not human so these things will never happen to her

I wonder why so much people are getting sick…hmmm maybe it’s because a certain group of people drove the cost of living so high that regular doctor visits are a thing of the past, or started bringing in Chinese low quality medication that either don’t work or side effects would near kill you. Orrrr maybe because the human body sometimes catch illnesses that are contagious you know that does happen from time to time
Orrrrr ya can’t afford to eat healthy. Fruits alone expensive af. Don’t even talk about the other “healthy” alternatives
Seeing that we lowly bajans shouldn’t e claiming for sickleave and using sick benefits funded by our own pockets we should defer NIS payments altogether seeing that us using a service meant for us is too much to ask

This Honourable Senator, ought to legitimize what can only be kindly viewed as her “mis-speaks”….by running in the next election. Otherwise,I suggest she just drift off somewhere else, and allow a rational, responsible person to undertake such serious political responsibilities. It would be more appropriate that these be assigned to a member of The House, in the first place.

You must keep people employed so to pay into the NIS. If you keep paying out and nothing coming in, it must go broke.
Go talk to the UNIONS about “an honest day’s pay must be for an honest day’s work”. Don’t lag about during the 8 to 5 and then try to clean up on overtime.

I knew a man (he has since died) who used to be sending in sick claim after sick claim and skipping the island, he was faking sickness. When sickness really hit his so and so and he sent in the claim, NIS nicely informed him that all of his benefits were used up. He aint get one red cent.
Sometime last year the Human Resources Association voiced similar concerns that sick leave in companies across Barbados was through the roof and was very worrying, so in essence the Minister cannot be lying. There has to be statistics showing it. However, the minister needs to keep her mouth shut and let the sick leave continue. One day someone else will hear, all your benefits were used up.
There is a doctor who was renamed TIMON, because all you had to do was to walk in his office and say you wanted time and you got it. Yah think he’s the only one??? I didn’t know bajans took such pleasure in being ill, I didn’t see one comment from anyone advocating that bajans need to make an effort to better take care of their health. Seems like Barbados is a nation of sick people. No wonder the health care bill is through the roof.
Your health is your greatest wealth, when your health is gone, you are basically gone. There are people who are legitimately sick and there are those who are abusing the system. How do you differentiate? Just leave it alone, as we already know karma is a B**CH. One day the fakers will wish they had never faked being ill but for those who are legitimately ill, I wish you the best in your recovery.
I knew a man (he has since died) who used to be sending in sick claim after sick claim and skipping the island, he was faking sickness. When sickness really hit his so and so and he sent in the claim, NIS nicely informed him that all of his benefits were used up. He aint get one red cent.
Sometime last year the Human Resources Association voiced similar concerns that sick leave in companies across Barbados was through the roof and was very worrying, so in essence the Minister cannot be lying. There has to be statistics showing it. However, the minister needs to keep her mouth shut and let the sick leave continue. One day someone else will hear, all your benefits were used up.
There is a doctor who was renamed TIMON, because all you had to do was to walk in his office and say you wanted time and you got it. Yah think he’s the only one??? I didn’t know bajans took such pleasure in being ill, I didn’t see one comment from anyone advocating that bajans need to make an effort to better take care of their health. Seems like Barbados is a nation of sick people. No wonder the health care bill is through the roof.

Sick leave claims are costly, but, unfortunately so many people are stress at work,under paid, bosses ill-threating them etc…. so sick will be high. Make the work places
Fiona sick leave claims are costly to who. It can’t be de Government that does borrow millions of dollars from de same NIS that they claim don’t have any money.

Have you ever took the time to wonder why so much people are getting. Stress from trying to cope with the hardships of life in which you and your fellow party members bestowed upon us. The after market drugs aren’t as potient therefore one will have to take longer to get better. The poor man can’t afford to buy quality food like before so we have to eat what is available…what I have listed will have an effect on health

the money u are using from the NIS funds to build courts and police stations should really be for the ppl. after all its the ppls money taken from their hard sweat and back breaking blood that goes into the fund for when they are sick and otherwise…NOT TO BUILD DAMN BUILDINGS. QUIT WASTING THE PPL NIS MONEY.AND INSULTING OUR DOCTORS. WANT PPL TO WORK EVEN WHEN ILL

After reading a significant number of the above comments it is very clear that our education system has failed. Common sense and seasoning is lacking. Your ability to argue logically and intelligently is amazing. Those of you who have children or who interact with friends and family if this is the way you argue God help them.

Are sick claims too high? Are doctors giving too much sick leave? This has been a problem for years under both administrations. You go to a doctor and they ask you how much time you want home. People eating badly and not exercising. We need to take responsibility for our health. If we do then the NIS would have more money available. The tax refund is another matter. What did the gov do with the money it took from NIS? They paid wages, built police stations etc.

@Jack Ryan do you think the fund just gives away grants to the police and courts? Do you know the terms and conditions of the loans?
@Coralita and Alex Alleyne you make excellent points that people fail to understand.
@Ernesta Williams. You don’t understand how insurance works. Where is the evidence that the Minister is playing God?
@Tony Webster. As usual you say a lot that adds up to nothing.

Saga Boy a percentage of National Insurance is available for investment, which means that if you invest any amount of that percentage, you should receive returns on that money.
It is not for building government buildings or paying wages.

Esther Byer Suckoo, you have a point. However, you must come to the realisation that there is a breakdown of what constitutes moral and ethnic conduct in Barbados. There are those who are deliberately trying to use the loopholes in the system to gain a distinct advantage for whatever outcome there are trying to achieve. Therefore if we look at the very top, we can see where it has started and how it has trickled down to the bottom so much so that those at the bottom are significantly affected by the ills going on at the top. You are right when you say doctors are giving sick time to persons who are not ill. That is not a now happening matter. That has been so for a long time. That is a known a fact. It is also known that many in the civil service do abuse the system through repeat sickness, rather ill or not. That is also known. What you fail to acknowledge if you have acknowledged it because I did not worry to read what is written in the article, is that the number one contributing factor in the civil service is that most are recruited by the influences of politicians, who are not interested in the quality of the person, and as a result of that, most are hardly professionals with proper work ethics. You also have the colossal failure by those at the top of not maintaining the work environment to a high standard. So many works in sick buildings, in environments that are highly stressed, under management systems that are stringent and at times draconian. I think it is fair to say that you do have a point relating to the high numbers of sick persons and the stress it has on the NIS. You are also at fault for not highlighting the major factors, and not pointing out, like some the commenters have rightfully identified, the government’s use of NIS money to finance various projects and to pay wages. Those are also impacts that are negative and impactful as well.

understand what de minister saying……….if de 24 million was available to the NIS the political class would have it available to lend to questionable projects so they can earn wuflessly large fees (on both sides of the political isle) for peddling paper and looking busy. you all need to stop getting sick so she an she people can live
Best comment so far,,lol

Not saying anyone should abuse NIS or unemployment insurance but they pay into it so politicians should look into taking away all the nice perks and benefits that they don’t pay into but just get for free compliments taxpayers.

What about when people go to claim sick benefit only to realise that their NIS being deducted from workplace but not being paid in.WHAT ABOUT THAT?

If you think it’s too costly now, the people are going to be more stress now after this budget having to deal with paying so much taxes, so they will be more sick leave. The people pay into the NIS and you guys taking the money and lending government, soon there will be no money left for people who would be retiring soon.

According to the latest available actuarial report, the NIS paid out $23.9mn, $25.3mn and $26.2mn on sickness claims in 2009, 2010 and 2011 respectively, so why is this woman complaining now about $24mn being spent in 2016? This certainly does not imply a sudden epidemic of free-loading and I wouldn’t have thought a per capita cost of less than $90 to be unduly excessive.
What alternatives does the esteemed Minister have in mind??

I would love to change my lifestyle Ms. Minister but unfortunately the cost of a healthier lifestyle is too high in Barbados. We the people of Barbados pay NIS and should benefit when necessary but no instead you and DEM want to use it as a cash cow and then complain about the amount of money being paid in benefits. If you all didn’t owe so much money to the fund it would not be in a crisis. Ohhh, I have a solution, let me get all my money in my hand and when I’m sick I will take care of myself cause since we cant get it when we need it you shouldn’t be controlling our hard earn money in the first place….straight!!!!!

But wait didn’t a headline say NIS contributing 75 million or something like that to the building of the police stations? I might have figure wrong.

Whatever you give to them, they will never give back. They have a system of you be the “givers” and them the “takers”. The UK system is more “give” and “take”….. Yes, they are still taking but not everything like in Barbados…. This is colonialism, you cant ask a question, you are subjected to the most inhuman measures in the 21st century. Every week you wake up in Barbados, you have lost money due to the high prices of every foreseeable item or service in a developing country. It is cheaper to live in a developed country than here in Barbados, where items that are sooo cheap in Europe are sold at 3 times as much in Barbados. Plane fights are cheaper for UK People flying to Barbados than Barbadians flying to the UK. Every blessed thing in Barbados, the poor descendants of slavery are made to pay for more than the Europeans…… You will only be free when you stop paying into the slavers coffers. People (Bajans) look after yourselves and your families because the Government are certainly looking after themselves, on OUR money. Spend your own money on yourselves and let them look to see how they can live the lifestyles that they currently have. Stop paying and see if they have any type of system !! WAKE UP

A wired coding system with billing inputs will show which doctors are abusing the sick leave protocol! The C PT- 4 and I CD-10 coding system gives quick reference of the patients records. Information technology and robo-technology are areas that will take manual skills jobs and some technical jobs . Skills retraining is vastly important for my fellow nationals. Just imagine in the year 2004 I witnessed a field tractor that plowed a twenty acre field with no human aboard. A lawn mower which worked for the county highways which mowed the side of the highway Local Thirteen south in Delaware state. Those micro businesses and Cottage industries in Barbados are the ideal value added products. Get your trade marks and be proud of what you do!

We need positive incentive. Rewards for persons who keep themselves healthy and do not claim sick leave. Perhaps a percentage of unused sick leave can be converted to vacation days at the end of no claim year. Or the employee gets some cash back.
NIS not paying their pension once you already have one, so if you work your years without sick leave or unemployment claims you never get back any money. This encourages ppl to abusive sick leave to try and get back something from NIS.

This administration would rather the public believe that we are the problem and deserving of chastisement, but the politicians are the problem. How can ppl collecting sick benefit they paid into be more of a problem then wunna spending the $ as wunna like?
You serious tho?

Dr Esther Byer-Suckoo go take a rest, you are now tired and weary, Politics, your family and personal life has taken a toll on you. You need a massage and some Tender loving Care.
It’s now time to give up Politics jump and don’t wait to be pushed like Patrick Todd or Patrick Tannis

You all are making this thing so political. We all know this is the silly season, but my Barbadians can’t be this silly or lacking social understanding about out national institutions.
All governments in our history has used the N I S as a financier for projects, ans loans for the country because repayments are in local currency instead of foreign exchange if they borrow on the capital market. The only way N I S has been able to pay pensions, and other benefits is by investing our money. So the money for the police stations is a loan, that will be repaid with interest similar to so many other projects over the years. The N I S owns buildings in Barbados that is rented and least to public and private sector entities, they have investments in companies here, and overseas investments as well, so the point she’s making is that $ 24,000,000.00 is a lot of money to lose from the N I S in sickness benefits alone for one year. It’s too much for a small country like ours.
I long to see the day when all employees in this country, in both private and public sectors are on contract where they can’t simply accumulate years leading to a company pension. I wish to see gratuity payments at the end of two year contracts, so those who spend time off the job will lose some of their gratuity, with others who carry the load getting more. The good productive workers will earn new contracts at the end of the agreed period, while the slackers will have to seek employment elsewhere.
While I will always support fair work for fair pay, health and safety at work, provision of adequate care facilities for working single mothers, adequate transport for those working late at night, and of course humane domestic facilities while at work. I will never support workers who believe they have six certified sick days per year and who otherwise abuse the provisions placed in law for those with genuine issues. These workers need to be exposed as they too like the very politicians you all ridicule are robbing their fellow employees, compromising our children’s future, and skimming off valuable investment capital from the N I S. It’s time we act, and speak maturely on the several issues facing this country. This government has made some critical errors of judgement, some of their ministers have made irresponsible statements at times, but everything they say or does cannot be wrong. Life is simply not that way, so we need to support what’s right even if we cross the line of those we support politically.
