Take the stress out of managing staff sickness absence

From stress to injuries, staff take sick leave for many reasons. If your employee is off due to a long-term medical condition, you may be worried about the impact of a lengthy absence, their performance on the job, and how you’ll need to support them.
On the other hand, you might suspect that staff are taking advantage of their sick leave entitlements in Ireland. Which means you may have an investigation on your hands… Whatever your situation, managing long-term sickness absence needs to be done right – or your employee could make a claim against you. So, call Employers Direct today for practical advice from a CIPD-qualified advisor.
