Sick leave

Hi Fellas, 

We have one employee who is at probation and she have taken 1 to 2 sick leaves every month and now she have sent a message that she will be sending the doctor note as she is stressed and have some health issues. Not sure in this case we should be doing disciplinary call or should be giving just verbal warning or shouldn't be doing anything. Can you kindly suggest please as my manager said they will be conducting disciplinary call. 

Many thanks,

  • Be clear what you are disciplining her for.

    If she has less than 2 years service then you may have more leeway, but with over two then you need to go through a fair process (as you should under two really)

    You either believe she is lying (unlikely you will be able to prove it) or her level of absence is so high that she is incapable of doing her job. If its the latter then you should ideally informally warn/counsel, before stepping through the stages.
  • Thank you Keith,
    Do You think, if Bradford policy been implemented then such cases can lower down? what you suggest, is this policy is any good for any company or not where mostly people are working on per hour.
