Managing absence
Do you feel that staff absence is out of control? Do you feel that certain staff (and it’s always the same ones) play the sick and there’s nothing you can do about it? Are you suspicious that certain staff always seem to have the same days off sick each month? Does poor timekeeping bother you?
Do any of these statements apply to you when you think about staff attendance:
· I can’t touch them if they’re off sick.
· If it’s a genuine reason for sickness, then they can be off for as long as they like.
· I know that staff whose attendance is good are fed up of those who don’t show up.
· I am fed up of staff not calling in when they should.
· Finding temp cover is costing me a fortune.
If so, then your absence and attendance problem is almost out of control.
I can help you address these issues and identify the things you can do to bring absence and poor timekeeping under control. This includes making it clear to staff that good attendance and timekeeping is a fundamental part of good job performance and that anyone who can’t turn up for work may face leaving the business altogether.
This pack is designed to help you approach your employee to discuss issues with their absence record, with relevant HR knowledge framing your discussion. It contains
