Sintons Legal Seminar: Managing Sickness Absence
Managing sickness absence effectively is essential for maintaining workforce productivity and organisational integrity, but the legal and procedural landscape can be complex. This session will provide clarity on key obligations and practical strategies to reduce risk and ensure compliance.
We’ll cover essential topics including:

- Data protection obligations – GDPR compliance when handling medical and sensitive personal information
- Effective absence management strategies – balancing organisational needs with employee wellbeing
- Recent case law and best practice – lessons learned and actionable insights for HR and managers
Through real-world examples and practical guidance, you’ll gain the tools to strengthen governance, support staff appropriately, and minimise exposure to legal challenges.
