Revised Sickness Absence Guidelines
|
Date: 17th Dec 2003
The treatment of staff when off sick has been a recurrent issue for LTU over recent months and has placed the spotlight on bad managerial practices such as...
- staff having to ring in on a daily basis, and
- being told to produce a Doctor’s Certificate on the first day of sickness
As a result, Group Operations has reviewed its Sickness Absence practices.
These guidelines are fully consistent with the Bank’s main Policy on Sickness Absence which was agreed with LTU three years ago to ensure the proper and consistent treatment of staff and in turn recognises the different working environment in which Group Operations staff work, compared to other areas in the Bank.
The new guidelines reiterate that Line Managers should not attempt to make any sort of medical diagnosis or counsel staff and that they should be equally concerned for the business and the staff.
