Managing long term absence

Absenteeism is a huge issue for most organisations. The management of long term sick employees can be expensive, a drain on management time and a stumbling block to the development of your organisation.

Failure to properly manage employees who are on long term sick runs the risk of claims for unfair dismissal and/or disability discrimination claims. You also clog up your management resources due to the significant obligations to those on long term sick.

Linder Myers can help you manage long term sick employees either with existing cases or through the drafting of documentation to prevent problems.

If you have an ongoing case, we will review your existing documentation and advise you how best to proceed and provide you with a step-by-step guide/draft necessary documents to properly manage the situation.
