How to Manage Absenteeism: Legal Considerations, Policy and Application

Did you know that absenteeism can significantly drain your company’s resources? The indirect costs of absenteeism, such as decreased productivity and the need for temporary cover, can often be more substantial than direct payroll expenses. Effective management of absenteeism is crucial, as failure to address it can lead to long-term financial strain and operational disruption.
