Employment law advice for employers
on absence due to non-sickness
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. Employees may be absent from work for a reason which is not related to sickness. They may have certain rights to allow them to take the time off and they may be entitled to either statutory paid leave or a reasonable amount of paid/unpaid time off work, depending on the circumstances.
At Q&A Law we understand absence due to non-sickness 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. This is supported by your own solicitor available on the telephone or by email.
