Phoning in sick policy
 

Help please.

I need help wording a policy where staff have to phone work if they are going to be sick that day.

This must be the easiest policy to write but my heads blank :dizzy: lol.

Thanks in advance

Hi, these links might help:

On page 13 of the Managing attendance on ACAS http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1183 , it titles this requirement as

Notification of absence
The employee should speak to their manager or deputy as soon as possible by a set time – perhaps within an hour of their normal start time.
They should also:

• give a clear indication of the nature of the illness and
• a likely return date
• The manager should promise to keep in regular contact.

and on this article page as 'authorised absence and lateness' http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1566

On gov.uk https://www.gov.uk/taking-sick-leave

From the employees perspective: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/wo...u-are-off-sick
