I wouldn't have thought that management could accommodate this level of
non attendance at work for much longer - irrespective of the reasons
why. Certainly very tragic - I am hoping that she has had some input
from various clinical people to help her with dealing with her issues?
You don't say how old she is or what she is actually doing - this will
probably have a bearing on what adjustments (if any) the employer may
consider making.
It would appear from what you have said below that her problems stem
from mental health issues, there may be mileage in getting her some
additional support (dependant on whether management want to invest the
money in it), would suggest that this needs to be quite focussed eg EMDR
or CBT but the sad fact is that she hasn't really demonstrated that she
is worth investing in yet . The tragedy of these kind of cases is that
they are rarely catered for - the problems are enduring and socially
debilitating, but (I'll take cover now) she does need to get a grip -
having a horrible past isn't an invisible cloak against getting the sack
or disciplined for what is frankly a pretty appalling attendance
pattern. In my experience people get "stuck" and sometimes need a bit of
a boot to get them unstuck, but the sad fact is that if she gets sacked
she will probably get lost in whatever system she ends up in.
Good luck!

Dear List
I am hoping I could pick your brains on the below case:
We had a lady who started work in July 2011 and hass had 54 (in 10
seperate occassions) days of sickness already. Her preemployment
indicated that her condition would result in above average absence and
require support. HR put adjustments in place and gave side by side
support to help her as much as possible. I have today received a
referral from manager who has concerns over poor attendance and the
impact it is having on her perfomance and ability to carry out her role.
This employee has a history of depression since the age of 14, has IBS
which is stress related and sufferes extreme anxiety, low self esteem
and a general disregard for men due to significant family hisytory of
peadophilia and rape.
As always your comments and contributions would be highly appreciated
Shelly
