    Labour & Employment UK Webinar Programme – Managing Sickness Absence

    October 2024
    Region: Europe
    Featuring:

    Managing sickness absence effectively can be challenging for employers, especially with sickness absence rates in the UK at an all-time high.

    Watch our webinar for the key legal and practical issues to consider when managing employees who are absent from work because of sickness.

    We cover:

    • A reminder of the basics – the key steps to take when managing short- and long-term sickness absence
    • Typical mistakes made by managers, and how to avoid them
    • When an employee has a disability, and how far this changes things
    • Changes you can make to your contracts and policies, to put the business in the strongest position when managing sickness absence

    This webinar is aimed at junior HR professionals, those who require an introduction to key areas of employment law (including managers with responsibility for staffing issues) as well as individuals who are looking to refresh their knowledge in a particular area. It is led by directors/associates in our Labour & Employment Practice Group.

    This is the third webinar in our 2024 Labour & Employment UK Webinar Programme. If you would like to pre-register for the final session, please visit our registration page or subscribe to receive our Labour & Employment updates and event invitations directly to your inbox.
