News // September 2011
As we emerge from the holiday season and teams get down to
business, in this edition of our Employment Newsletter we consider
how to help employees, who are absent due to illness, back to
work. Simon Hurry's suggestions on sickness absence policies for
handling ill-health, or to enable an early and sustained return to
work, follow recent research showing that work is good for you!
And when can employers say 'enough is enough'? Emma Parr looks
at what went wrong for an employer that dismissed an
acknowledged "difficult employee" on the grounds of
"unacceptable absence and threatening behaviour" but was ordered to
pay compensation of six months' gross salary.
We hope you find this newsletter both interesting and useful. If
you would like to discuss any issues raised in it, or others that
you are currently dealing with, please do contact us.
