Employment law question time: Performance management and sickness absence

In our October essential law webinar we opened the virtual floor for anyone joining to ask any employment law question related to performance management and sickness absence.  Employment law experts Innes Clark, Sarah Gilzean and Meghan Jenkins provided the answers.  

We had a wide ranging of questions including illness during probationary periods, permanent health insurance, the overlap between performance issues and absence, conflicts between OH and an employee's view on their health, what an employer should do if they have failed to make a reasonable adjustment and more.  

This webinar is applicable to the law of Scotland, England and Wales.
