Over the last number of months, we have seen a significant number of enquiries regarding employees on sick leave. To assist and support all of our clients we have developed a Guide for Employers on the Effective Management of Sick Leave and Absence.

This is a 15-part guide with everything you need to know around forms of absence, how to approach, manage, monitor and minimise absence in the workplace. Illness benefit, Public Holidays and proposed changes to paid sick leave as a statutory entitlement and also covered.

This comprehensive piece includes plenty of useful tips on what a robust and clear Sick Leave Policy should contain to ensure everyone is on the same page. Also contained is a risk assessment template, information on referrals to independent medical advisers and lots more. It can be purchased for €25.
