Sickness Issues and SSP
6. Reducing Sickness Absences
6.1 Create a good working environment.
- Invest in ergonomically sound furniture, lighting and equipment.
- Enforce health and safety standards.
- Encourage teamwork, contact between people and positive motivation.
6.2 Move sick or injured employees to other duties which will not affect their condition.
6.3 Since April 2010 the traditional doctor's sick note has been replaced by a 'fit note' (see 4.4).
If a doctor has stated that your employee 'may be fit for work', they can offer suggestions about simple and practical adjustments you could make to help your employee return to work.
