5 1 Application of Policy 1.1 Definitions Employee An employee is any person under a current contract of employment with PBNI, including temporary and fixed term contracts. Any individual circumstances involving alcohol, drug or substance abuse should be managed in line with the PBNI s Substance Misuse Policy. 2 Introduction The Probation Board for Northern Ireland (PBNI) aims to maximise the attendance at work of all employees. It is recognised however that a certain level of absence due to ill health may occur. It is also recognised that there will be occasions where, after consideration, individuals cannot attend work due to ongoing health problems and may not be able to continue working. The PBNI is committed to supporting staff wherever possible under these circumstances. 3 Policy Aim The purpose of this policy is to assist managers and employees to address sickness absence to ensure that sickness absence levels are maintained within acceptable levels and that a fair, consistent and supportive approach is adopted when managing employees who have health problems. It is imperative that this policy is utilised in a consistent and fair manner for all employees of PBNI. 4 Policy Objective The policy objective is to set out clear procedures on matters of sickness absence and capability related to ill-health in PBNI, the arrangements for dealing with such matters and the rights and obligations of those involved. 5. Policy Principles PBNI s sickness absence policy is based on the following principles: Employees should take responsibility for achieving and maintaining good attendance We will support employees who have genuine grounds for absence We will use the services of Occupational Health Service where appropriate We undertake to provide payments to employees who are unable to attend work due to sickness, as long as required conditions are met Sickness Absence Policy 6
6 We may engage another Board Policy (including Disciplinary Policy and Procedure) if an explanation for absence is not forthcoming, is not thought to be satisfactory, or where someone has abused the system PBNI reserves the right to withhold payment of Occupational Sick pay where an employee fails to co-operate or comply with reasonable requests or enquiries to ascertain his/her medical condition We are committed to maintaining the highest standard of service provision We respect the confidentiality of all information in relation to an employees sickness We will recognise our responsibilities under the DDA 6. Policy Outcome Matters of sickness absence and capability related to ill-health in PBNI will be dealt with in accordance with this policy and the procedures set out in the appendices to it. 7. Policy Statement The Probation Board for Northern Ireland has a clear responsibility for the efficient and effective delivery of its services. A high level of attendance at work is essential to enable it to meet its aims and objectives and reflects shared interests in contributing to the effective performance of the organisation. Additionally high sickness absence rates involve costs for PBNI in terms of sick pay, covering for absent colleagues, lower standards or disruption to its work and can adversely affect morale. PBNI consequently must ensure that sickness absence is effectively managed. The responsibilities placed on the Board by the Disability Discrimination Act and employment legislation will be observed at all times and reasonable adjustments made where appropriate. Abuse of the sickness absence procedures is a disciplinary offence. Staff should be aware that the misuse of the provision of sick pay by reporting themselves sick when this is not the case will be dealt with as a disciplinary matter. 8. Occupational Health Service PBNI s approach in cases of sickness absence will be one of support and understanding. Wherever possible, assistance will be given to help ill employees regain full health with Occupational Health Service (OHS) support as appropriate. Assistance will be offered as appropriate to disabled employees Sickness Absence Policy 7
7 including provision of reasonable adjustments as appropriate on a case-by-case basis. 9. Responsibilities This sub-section sets out the responsibilities of employees, managers, Human Resources and employee representatives under this Policy. Employees Maintaining regular attendance at work Being aware of and understanding this policy Following the absence reporting procedures Maintaining regular contact with your line manager throughout any absence and keep him/her up-to-date with progress Submitting appropriate medical certificates in a timely fashion Participating in return to work interviews after any period of sickness absence Managers Managing sickness absence within their area of responsibility, reviewing sickness absence levels on a regular basis and addressing any areas of concern Ensuring that all employees, including new members of the team/department are aware of and understand this policy and the absence reporting procedure Ensuring absence reporting procedures are followed Liaising with Human Resources for support and guidance when appropriate Maintaining regular and reasonable contact with employees during periods of absence, ensuring that they are aware of the individual s progress and likely duration of absence Supporting employees in order that they can return to work Conducting return to work interviews with employees after any period of sickness absence Holding absence review meetings as per the procedure Recording accurate individual absence information and submitting it to HR on a timely basis Initiating appropriate occupational health referrals in conjunction with Human Resources Human Resources Providing assistance, advice and support to managers and employees in the management of sickness absence, including Return to Work interviews Sickness Absence Policy 8
8 Collecting, analysing and publishing (where appropriate) departmental and organisational absence statistics Notifying employees before occupational sick pay is reduced to half pay and when it expires Promoting the consistent application of the Sickness Absence Policy and Procedures. Employee Representatives Providing assistance, advice and support to employees regarding sickness absence issues. 10. Sickness Absence Recording and Monitoring The PBNI has a responsibility to establish effective systems for recording and monitoring sickness absence in a consistent format. There are various reasons for this, including: Identifying possible health problems early resulting in effective management or occupational health support Fulfilling requirements under the Statutory Sick Pay Regulations Ensuring appropriate payment of Occupational Sick Pay Identifying attendance patterns, frequency and length of absences Enabling creation of statistical reports to key stakeholders Regularly reviewing sickness absence rates, employee turnover, levels of redeployment and the number of terminated contracts and ill-health referrals will also contribute to the evaluation and audit of this Policy. Employee absence records (for example, self-certificates, medical certificates, return to work interview forms and meeting notes) will be maintained in accordance with Data Protection Act requirements. 11. Linkages This policy also links with the following - Disciplinary Policy - Performance Capability Policy - Substance Abuse Policy - The Equal Opportunities Policy - Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) Sickness Absence Policy 9
9 12. Guidance This policy is supported by the Sickness Absence Procedure. The Sickness Absence Procedure must be read in conjunction with this document and used for all sickness absence related matters within PBNI 13. Review This policy will be reviewed three years from date of approval. Interim reviews may be prompted by feedback, challenge or identified best practice. Sickness Absence Policy 10
