Managing sick leave and return to work can be a challenge for employers and employees alike. Health conditions, whether work-related or not, can have a significant impact on a person's ability to perform their job. To properly manage sick leave, it's important to understand the relevant laws, including the Equality Act, the Employment Rights Act, and the Health and Safety at Work etc Act. Employers should develop policies and procedures in consultation with workers and their representatives. Keeping track of sick leave and monitoring trends can help manage risk, as can training managers on how to manage sick leave and return to work. Staying in contact with workers who are off sick is also crucial, ensuring that the conversation remains focused on their health, safety, and wellbeing, and their eventual return to work. Workplace adjustments can be made to help workers return to work, such as shorter hours, flexible or part-time working, or adapting work equipment. However, it's important to review health and safety risk assessments where necessary, especially if a worker's health condition makes them or others more vulnerable to workplace risks, or if the impact of the workplace adjustments could affect the work and health of others. Professional advice should also be sought on issues such as fitness to work or workplace adjustments, from occupational health providers, nurses, occupational therapists, pharmacists, physiotherapists, or doctors. By following these guidelines, employers can effectively manage sick leave and support their employees' return to work. #returntowork #sickness #eastanglia #absence #absencemanagement #humanresources #hr #occupationalhealth https://lnkd.in/gkpXTvUt
