DIsciplinary procedure or absence capability route?

Jacqueline Burnett

Hi All,

I'm interested in how other companies deal with absence issues - whether it is via the disciplinary procedure (for short term unrelated absences) or via an absence procedure for related but sporadic absences.

Do you use the disciplinary procedure for unrelated periodic absences?

How do you manage absences which keep occuring for the same reasons 1) for non disability related and 2) for disability related absences.

If you have any policies you could share that would be great.

Thank you in advance.

Jackie

  • Sickness is dealt with under the sickness absence policy. Why would anyone discipline staff for being sick, whether it's short term or long term?

    If absences are disability-related then reasonable adjustments must be made. I usually do this following an OH referral (I say usually since my current provider is just awful...)

    You can have my current organisation's policy (which I shall shortly be reviewing ) and I think I have an old one from a previous organisation if you ping me a message or an email.
