Managing sickness absence

It is a fact of working life that employees will be absent with sickness from time to time, however when absence is not due to genuine sickness or it is prolonged, it can be a difficult situation to manage, both for other employees who are covering the workload of the missing employee and also financially for the company.

In such situations it is essential to ensure that sickness absence is managed fairly and sensitively, thus ensuring that you do not discriminate against an employee who is absent because of a disability related reason.
