The HR Service will inform you when an employee has met or exceeded the Council’s sickness absence TARGET. Reports are provided on a monthly basis. 

Where absences are attributable to reasons related to the employee’s disability consideration should be given as to whether it would be REASONABLE to make an adjustment to the Councils procedure (including trigger points and formal stages of the procedure) and advice in each case should be sought form HR.

You should invite the employee to a First Stage REVIEW and consider referring the employee to the Occupational Health Service for further advice. It may be appropriate to take no action, due to the circumstances of a particular case, but this will REQUIRE the approval of your Deputy Director/Head Teacher.

You may make a referral to Occupational Health at any time if you are concerned by an employee’s absence.
