Hello
We have a remote employee with persistent lateness, their line manager wants to give a written warning but in an informal meeting today mental health diagnoses were cited as contributing towards sleep issues which are causing the lateness.
I’m not confident what the next steps are now? Can we still proceed with the disciplinary hearing and issue a written warning, if we combine it with an occupational health assessment as a way forward in supporting the employee and a view to reasonable adjustments that come out of that?
We are providing him with the option for therapy via our private health insurance and he suggested that having enough work to do (minimal quiet periods) help him, so we are supporting him in those ways but I’m not sure how else we can support him.
