Sickness absence remains an issue for employers in both the public and private sector. Given the associated costs, managing sickness absence effectively is vital for all organisations, particularly in the current climate.
Employers often need to tackle both long-term and short-term absences. Whether these involve reviewing workloads, implementing triggers to review attendance, communicating with absent employees, introducing return-to-work interviews or considering disciplinary and dismissal issues, the area is fraught with difficulties. This is particularly the case where action taken by an employer could expose it to claims for disability discrimination and/or unfair dismissal.
We are holding workshops in London and Manchester which will not only guide you through the legal issues arising from sickness absence, but also highlight the practical steps you can take to manage such absence effectively. We will use tailored case studies to enable you to identify the best practice approach, which minimises the risk of litigation, and help you take the necessary steps to manage sickness absence confidently and effectively.
