Managing sickness absence: Getting SSP right

What’s in the webinar
Managing sickness can be one of the most difficult responsibilities for employers. Balancing legal compliance, fairness and business needs with recurring or complex absence is hard without the right approach. In this free webinar, Flora Neville, Citation associate speaker and business owner, will explain the key steps to manage sickness effectively, with Leon Weate, Citation’s Business Development Manager. There’s 15 minutes of live Q&A at the end.

Why you should join
Since 6 April, SSP has been payable from the first day of sickness absence, so even a single day off needs handling properly. A clear process helps you stay compliant, treat people fairly and spot problems early. Flora will show you what that looks like day to day, and you’ll leave with steps you can use straight away. Can’t make 10am? Register and we’ll send you the recording.

Who it’s for
HR managers and business owners in UK SMEs who deal with sickness absence, from one-off days off to recurring and long-term cases. You don’t need an HR team behind you, just an hour and your questions.

What you’ll learn
→ What a good absence reporting process looks like
→ How to conduct return-to-work interviews that really work
