How Do You Manage Sick Leave in Your Business? 🤒
Hey everyone! Sick leave can be one of those tricky areas to manage, especially in a small business. With flu season hopefully behind us 🤞, I thought it would be a great time to hear how everyone handles it in their companies. Do you have a formal process or policy in place? Do you require a medical certificate after a certain number of days? How do you balance showing empathy with ensuring the business continues to run smoothly? I’d love to hear your stories—whether it’s what’s worked well or lessons learned the hard way!

How Do You Manage Sick Leave in Your Business? 🤒

This is a hot topic, and in my experience, the approach to managing leave varies significantly across businesses. I’ve outlined some rough numbers to provide insight into how employers handle this: - Around 60% of businesses have a strict zero-tolerance policy for not providing evidence to support leave requests. No evidence means no leave approval. - About 20% take a more flexible approach, rarely requesting evidence unless there’s a reason to believe the employee may be misusing their leave allowance. - The remaining 20% take a more strategic approach, using various methods like allowing 5 non-evidenced days per year, with any additional leave requiring proof. Some even treat these days as an extra 10 days of annual leave, only requesting evidence for unpaid leave. Ultimately, your approach should be tailored to your business’s culture and industry. It’s important to remember that people will need time off for illness or personal reasons, so planning for these absences when calculating staff costs is essential. Developing a culture of trust and respect also makes a huge difference. No one likes to pick up the slack for others taking excessive time off. In a high-performing culture, teams often manage this naturally.

@Jonathon Power - Great question - In short, if an employee does not provide sufficient evidence inline with your leave policy (i.e a med cert or even stat dec) then this can go down as an unexplained absence (which is unpaid). This time is also not counted toward their service with the employer and would be subject to disciplinary action (failure to follow workplace policy). It's a strong stance, but a fair one. Staff are provided with entitlements under the NES, beyond these entitlements, its then unpaid leave (where approved by the employer) or an unexplained absence. Larger enterprise do this well - with having such a large workforce, there is no 'grey' area here. Therefore they apply the mandatory requirements and staff abide by it. Hope this helps!

A BIG step forward for HR in small-medium businesses! Our HR Essentials Pack
We don't often post about our services/products, but this one is an important announcement which we wanted to extend to our amazing skool community! This one is for the small business owners who are time-poor, but doing amazing things in their day-to-day. ✨ The business owners who know they need a little support to make operations, compliance, and legal oversight streamlined and bullet-proof, but don't know where to start, and don't have the resources to outsource this, or hire internally. This pack is for you! It's all of your ESSENTIAL HR needs in 1 pack. Just a bunch of documents? Technically yes. But also no. It comes with over 3 hours of tailored consultations – exactly what growing businesses need!We've seen many HR consultancies selling HR document templates, and we think they're great! However, we've seen many customers get stuck when filling them out correctly. ☝️and Incorrect form-filling simply keeps business owners trapped in yet another vicious cycle of business and HR risk and incompliance. Our consultations will guide you through the pack, educate and coach you so you know how to get the most out of it, and how to handle future HR challenges independently, and together we'll make a plan that tackles your long-term goals. We then check in twice, to answer any niggling questions and ensure you're on track and utilising your HR Essentials Pack to the max! To find out exactly what kind of 🔥🔥🔥 you can put out with this pack (and much more!) check the link in the comments and below! https://humanpower.au/product/essentials-hr-pack/
