The challenge of dealing with sickness at work
While most employers understand that employees get sick occasionally, frequent or long-term absences can impact productivity and morale. Effectively managing sickness at work is crucial, but navigating legalities and complexities can be time-consuming. Primed HR can help you:
- Understand your rights and obligations
- Manage short-term illness and self certification
- Address long-term absence
- Build out appropriate employment contracts
- Follow the right processes in every case
- Avoid costly tribunals and unfair dismissal cases
Primed HR can help manage dismissals due to sickness at work
The importance of fair process when thinking about sickness at work
Whatever the situation, it’s important to explore the reasons behind staff absence to make sure you’re not indirectly discriminating against them or failing to make reasonable adjustments.
Failing to follow a fair dismissal process can lead to costly Employment Tribunal claims for unfair dismissal or disability discrimination.
At Primed HR, we help you navigate the legal landscape and minimise risks associated with sickness at work.
“The Primed team provides our managers with the reassurance they need as they face HR matters and the advice delivered is quick, friendly and professional at all times.”
