About This Webinar

This webinar will be the second half of our Attendance Management course. This course will provide employers with the tools needed to identify and address the most challenging issues related to attendance management regardless of whether an employee’s absenteeism is ongoing or sporadic.

All attendees will be provided access to the presentation for 30 days, along with additional resource materials for on-the-job reference.

Agenda

Assess whether absenteeism is culpable or non-culpable or a mix of both and the different approaches arising as a result;
Identify elements of a successful attendance management program;
Weigh employees’ privacy rights with the employer’s entitlement to sufficient information to address attendance issues and its duty to accommodate: determining when, what and how much medical information can be requested from employees;
Respond effectively to various challenging scenarios, including sick leave fraud or situations where chronic illnesses and human rights considerations exist, while minimizing the organization’s legal risks.
