Course Outline
Introduction
Absence management is a problem for many employers. Not only is it disruptive but it is expensive when the cost of covering absent employees and dealing with the loss of productivity is taken into consideration. Understandably, managing absence can be worrying for managers due to concerns about potential claims of unfair dismissal or disability discrimination.
The increase in remote working has meant renewed and different concerns about absence management. If employees are ill, but feel well enough to do some work from home, is that allowed? How does an employee be supported back into the workplace when working remotely, and how do return to work interviews work?
Suitable for those advising those employers and claimants, this webinar will examine the issues that need to be considered when managing absence and will explore the difficulties that line managers might encounter.
