Sickness Records
Managing sickness records in the workplace is crucial for ensuring fair treatment and compliance with UK employment law. If you’re facing challenges related to how your sickness records are being handled, our expert employment lawyers can provide the support and guidance you need.
It’s realistic to expect that, at some point, your team will take a day off sick. However, keeping a record of absences is essential to detect any underlying issues and trends.
Absence Records
Absence records play a vital role in assessing employee attendance and maintaining a healthy work environment. Whether you’re an employee or an employer, understanding your rights and obligations regarding absence records is essential.
At DPH Legal, we assist with sickness records by helping you navigate legal complexities:
- Clarifying Your Rights and Obligations: Understand the legal requirements for both employees and employers in managing sickness records.
- Challenging Unfair Actions: If you’ve faced unfair dismissal or disciplinary action due to sickness records, we can challenge these decisions on your behalf. Employers can also receive legal defence against such claims.
- Ensuring Data Protection: We ensure your sickness records are handled confidentially, adhering to GDPR and other data protection laws, protecting both privacy and compliance.
- Addressing Discrimination and Making Adjustments: We assist in filing discrimination claims if sickness records lead to unfair treatment, particularly under the Equality Act 2010. Employers can receive advice on making reasonable adjustments for employees with long-term sickness.
- Negotiating Settlements: Whether you’ve been wronged or need to resolve disputes, we’ll negotiate settlements on your behalf. This will hopefully avoid the costs and stress of a tribunal.
- Developing Policies: We help employers create legally compliant policies on sickness records and ensure employees understand their rights, fostering a fair workplace.
Our experienced legal team is here to help you navigate any disputes or concerns related to sickness and absence records.
