Sickness absence policies and return to work documents

Sickness Policies and Guidance Templates provides the core framework for managing employee sickness absence fairly and consistently, including policy wording and employer guidance.

For routine absence administration, Absence Records and Return to Work includes sickness monitoring documents, self-certification and absence records, unauthorised absence letters, and return to work forms and letters.

Long-term sickness and frequent absence management

Managing Long-Term and Frequent Sickness contains the documents needed where absence becomes ongoing, repeated, or more serious.

This section includes a dedicated sickness absence policy and a structured sequence of letters covering employee contact during sickness absence, requests for medical examination, formal review meetings, outcome letters, and documents for frequent short-term sickness absence and prolonged absence.

SSP forms and holiday entitlement documents

Statutory Sickness SSP Forms contains the statutory forms used when managing employee sickness and SSP administration.

Holiday administration is covered separately in Holiday Entitlement Documents, which includes annual leave request forms, carry-over agreements, letters declining leave, documents for designating leave, and letters dealing with non-return from holiday.

The collection is organised around common employer tasks, including putting sickness absence rules in place, recording absence, managing return to work, handling long-term or frequent sickness absence, dealing with SSP forms, and managing holiday entitlement.
