Sick leave is a standard part of any workplace, but knowing your rights and responsibilities when managing it isn’t always straightforward. This webinar will help employers understand what’s reasonable when employees call in sick, with or without medical evidence, and how to respond if something doesn’t add up.
We’ll cover:
- What counts as a valid medical certificate, including telehealth and online options.
- How to request evidence and set clear notification expectations in your policies.
- How to handle questionable sick leave without risking claims or breaching employee rights.
- Employer rights when sick leave is used to delay or derail disciplinary or performance management steps.
- Practical steps for managing sick leave fairly while staying compliant.
This session will be presented by Morgan Beames, Senior Associate at NRA Legal, and will give you clear guidance on what you can (and can’t) do when it comes to managing sick leave.
