another unanswered question about the new sickness policy
I am aware that with the new sickeness policy that some people will get their stages reset if it applys to them. i was just wondering do people who arent on stages but have had some abscence get their days reset or is it people on stages only?

Your days will not get reset, however you will not trigger an informal or formal meeting if you stay within the required attendance requirments for the following 6 months from your first absence.

The informal review process has nothing to do with the attendance standards.doorstepped wrote:however you will not trigger an informal or formal meeting if you stay within the required attendance requirments for the following 6 months from your first absence.
A manager can request an informal review at any time he/she decides that the employee's attendance is becoming "a cause for concern".

The standards have not changed.
It's still 4 absences or 14 days in any 12 month period.

Re: another unanswered question about the new sickness polic
If you have say 2 weeks off sick, But you only work 3 days (25 hrs) would that be classed as 14 days sick or 6?fishtank wrote: The standards have not changed.

Re: another unanswered question about the new sickness polic
Fish,
What if you received a stage 1 in November but stay clean and come off the stage (six months). As the absence was included in a stage, but still within the current (12 months) year, can that absence be recalled in any further stages.
Or is a line drawn under absences already used for a triggered stage.

And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Re: another unanswered question about the new sickness polic
I can't see how they can draw a line under it because it wouldn't be fair on someone who had gone sick in November,not triggered a stage but stayed clean for 6 months.Pat Ostman wrote:Fish,

To be honest having a 12 month Attendance Standard Period but only a 6 month Attendance Review Period is going to throw up some issues,this appears to be one of them.

Fish I asked this question and they replied if you break the standards in the 12 month peripd you will trigger an Attendance Review 1 Prompt and the discussions will take place.

if a line is NOT drawn under the absence, then the same absence could just trigger another stage warning for a day's sickness at a later time.
needs clarification.
