Why your business must have strategies and working practices in place to manage staff with ill health, to reduce risk of workplace disruption and prosecution
Since the introduction of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the Equality Act 2010 all employers must have strategies, working practices and specific policies to manage staff with ill health and related absences. Employers must ensure there is clarity between ill health and disability when managing staff absence.
Failure to have clear strategies and working practices in place, could increase the risk of your business being prosecuted at an employment tribunal for unfair dismissal and, or discrimination, especially if procedural and substantive fairness has not been applied correctly.
