Sickness Absence Performance
Minutes:
The Assistant Chief Executive updated the Board on the actions being taken to improve the Council’s performance relating to sickness absence.
The actions included the provision of detailed information to Heads of Service on specific instances of sickness absence and the amendment of the “trigger points” within the existing sickness policy to bring staff into the sickness regime at an earlier stage. In addition work was being undertaken in conjunction with the trade unions on the possibility of piloting an amended sickness scheme within Street Scene and Community.
RESOLVED that the position be noted.
