How to reduce absenteeism and deal with difficult situations in special schools
Most employers have employees with excessive or persistent absence records. Many also have staff on their books who have been off sick for long periods. For various reasons, many special schools seem to have higher than average absence levels amongst staff.
Employee absence brings tremendous costs to your school. These costs include expensive sick pay entitlements, the cost of recruiting cover, agency fees, management time, sheer wastage owing to absences, a break in the continuity of care and education, and damage to staff morale.
Topics we will cover include:-
Short term absence
- Identifying patterns of sickness absence
- Disciplining the persistent absentee
- Educating staff on the implications of absence
- Rewards and incentives for attendance
Long term absence
- Disability discrimination: walking the tightrope
- Obtaining helpful medical evidence
- Issues regarding payment of sick pay
- Termination of employment
