Long Term Sickness Management Policy

Long term sickness is an issue that can affect any employee and any business. Dealing with long term absence, especially where the employee has been with the company for a substantial amount of time, can be a tricky issue for any employer with consideration of unfair dismissal and discrimination issues required.

This policy puts in place a comprehensive procedure to help ensure you keep on the right side of the law when managing long term sickness, covering phased returns to work, redeployment and termination on the grounds of ill health.
