Managing the Complex World of Sick Leave
Hello and welcome to Episode 229 of the People Powered Business Podcast.
Today we are answering another listeners question which is: what can I do when an employee is taking sick leave but I know they are not actually sick?
Sick and Carers Leave can be one of the trickiest types of leave to manage, and because it is a protected workplace right, there is often little an employer can do if they think an employee is using sick leave for other purposes.
In this episode we unpack what Sick and Carers leave is, and what the entitlement each employee has to this sort of leave.
We discuss an employers rights if they feel sick leave is being used inappropriately.
And finally we look at what we can do to protect our businesses around excessive and inappropriate sick leave usage.
