Employment law advice on
absence management
Employee absence has a huge impact on your organisation. It affects staff morale, disrupts the work of others, and reduces the quality of work outputs. Whether the absence is planned, incidental, or extended, it carries costs and risks. Employee absence falls in to 2 categories either: sickness or non-sickness reasons which we've listed below for reference.
At Q&A Law we understand absence management and with our comprehensive services you'll find the answers to your questions along with a law guide, a step-by-step process guide, letter templates and policy documents to enable you to deal with all absence management issues.
