Managing Employee Sick Leave and Absenteeism in a Unionized Environment

 

Managing absenteeism is always a challenge for managers. How to do so in an effective way, which also respects standards of human rights and medical confidentiality, requires a delicate touch.

This 3 hour program will help you to:

1. Understand the link between performance and attendance.
2. Enhance your understanding of innocent absenteeism vs. culpable abuse of sick leave
3. Enhance your understanding of steps toward improving attendance
4. Understand supervisor's roles and responsibilities in absenteeism cases
5. Understand the role of the physician in absenteeism cases
6. Understand the legal parameters.

NOTE: Managing absenteeism is only one aspect of an integrated approach to workplace wellness/productivity. We can also expand this program to include ways of improving productivity, reducing costs related to sick leave, LTD/WSIB and reducing/stabilizing drug plan usage.
