Holiday, Sickness and Leave - Updated Guidance from Acas
Acas has recently updated its advice for employees and employers on managing holiday entitlement, sickness absence and other leave.
It is widely acknowledged that sickness absence can disrupt an organisation's operations, reduce its productivity and impact employee morale. Acas has set out new guidance on recording and reducing sickness absence and how this will assist employers to best manage the issue in practice.
The updated guidance includes content on managing sickness and other types of absence, including advice on policies, unauthorised absence, sick pay, fit notes, doctor's reports and return-to-work plans.
