From an HR perspective it's important to establish a reasonable amount
of detail so that any relevant support measures can be put into place,
or referrals made to occupational health services, or in the case of
repeated absences, it may be necessary to identify triggers. An
employer must be given sufficient information to fulfil their duty to
the employee in terms of health and safety legislation and I believe
that can be recorded.

Sickness Recording [Scanned][Spam score: 8%]
Hello
Does anyone have any views on what level of information an employer can
ask of someone when they've been off sick i.e. the reason? Should they
be asking & recording specifics?
Thanks
