Blackadders LLP will use this information to deal with your enquiry. Our Privacy Notice explains how we take care of your information.
Employers frequently complain that some employees treat any contractual sick pay entitlement as extra annual holidays. However, few employers take the time and effort to deal with this issue.
This not only encourages abuse of the system but also creates resentment on the part of co-workers who pick up the slack. It is important that employers properly manage absence by regular monitoring, and where appropriate, disciplinary action.
To deal with this effectively, employers need to be aware of the procedure for obtaining medical information. You must consider issues arising under the disability provisions of the Equality Act 2010.
