Webinar: Long-Term Sick Leave - How to Protect Your Organisation and Support Employees
Date: Thursday, 13th February 2025
Time: 11.00 am – 11.40 am
Location: online via Zoom

We have dedicated the last 10 minutes of the webinar to a Q&A.

Managing long-term sick leave involves navigating a complex landscape of statutory obligations, privacy considerations, discrimination risks, and Employer responsibilities. HR Professionals play a key role in supporting Employees during long-term absences and managing this technical area correctly to minimise the risk of breaching the Employee’s employment and privacy rights.

What is this webinar about?

The definition of long-term absence will vary from Organisation to Organisation. What is common to every Organisation however is that managing long-term absence involves a careful balancing act between the Employee’s rights, the Employer's obligations, and ensuring compliance with employment law. This webinar will examine the practical steps to minimise the risks associated with long-term absences as well as the Employee supports to consider as part of efforts to maintain a positive workplace environment.

To support Organisations with their compliance activity in this technical area of Irish employment law, Linea is hosting a webinar on Thursday 13th February 2025 at 11.00am that will examine the key risks and insights including:

• Defining long-term sick leave
• Sick leave entitlements – statutory and discretionary
• Discrimination risks
• Supports, contacting the Employee and privacy risks
• Dismissal risks
• Interaction with statutory leaves
• Documenting the process
