What is a Sickness Policy?

A Sickness Policy outlines the policies and procedures an employer has in place to manage sickness-related absences and the procedures for employees’ returning to work after taking sick leave. Sickness Policies inform employees how they will be paid during sick leave and help them recognise their personal responsibility to achieve acceptable levels of attendance.
