Absence & Sickness Management

Absence and sickness management claims are a type of legal service that involves managing employee absence due to illness or other health-related issues. Employment lawyers work with employers to develop policies and procedures that promote employee health and well-being, while also minimizing the impact of absenteeism on the workplace. These legal services can include advising on issues related to long-term sickness absence, disability discrimination claims, and occupational health assessments.

1. Develop clear policies and procedures related to absence and sickness management, including clear reporting requirements and communication channels.
2. Ensure that all policies and procedures comply with relevant employment laws and regulations, including those related to disability discrimination and reasonable accommodations.
3. Provide ongoing training and support to managers and HR personnel to help them effectively manage employee absences and health-related issues.
4. Conduct regular reviews and assessments of absence and sickness management policies and procedures to identify areas for improvement.
5. Work with employees to provide reasonable accommodations and support to help them return to work after an extended period of absence.
