Literally as the title states.
Ive outlined recently to management that a member of staff has had 6 instances of sickness and they've been in the company for 4 months.
Our process is usually 3 instances of sickness in 6 months and they go through disciplinary process….. so had this all highlighted and the manager has pushed back and said no they don't want the employees sickness investigated to head towards disciplinary due the persons mental health. (To add i know about their mental health and its not a high risk concern)
I've raised that 6 is still high and if it was anyone else they would be going through investigation, everyone should be treated equally and fairly.
The manager is still sticking to their guns, so where the hell do i go from here?
To add we've also given disciplinaries to staff for less than 6 instances of sickness, surely this accounts for discrimination too?
