Sickness and Absence
Unity can provide a confidential and supportive assessment of the individual’s ill health which will provide management with some tools to manage the absence. This information will include how long an employee may be absent from work, any safeguards or adjustments that may be required, when they are likely to be fit to return to work and whether a period of staged return or rehabilitation during return to work is required.

Employers will be advised on strategies for dealing with sick employees, on current legislation to ensure that no laws are broken, and to avoid situations where the company may be exposed to legal action. Unity emphasises early contact with employees on sick leave to begin the rehabilitation process so that time is not wasted whilst they are returning to work fitness.
