Managing Sickness Absence Policy and Procedure

This session will highlight the changes introduced to this revised OIC policy & procedure which aims to provide a fair and consistent framework for handling absence and ensuring that any employee, genuinely absent from work due to ill health, receives all the necessary support that the Council can provide. It is important that the policy is understood by all employees and accepted as being in the mutual interests of employees and the Council.  It will be applied as an integral part of the day-to-day management of the Council.

Where individual establishments have a number of line managers who require this training a specific session can be arranged where possible, by contacting learn.develop@orkney.gov.uk.

These sessions will be presented by Amanda Anderson and Lisa Gibson, HR Advisers, and is aimed at all employees with line management responsibilities.
