Letter Confirming the Outcome of a Stage 1 Long-term Sickness Meeting

This letter is used to confirm the outcome of a formal meeting held under a company’s long-term sickness absence management procedure.

It follows the Invitation to a Stage 1 Long-term Sickness Absence Meeting and is used where the employee has reached the level of absence identified in the employer’s absence management procedure.

What this Stage 1 long-term sickness outcome letter confirms

This letter records the outcome of the meeting and confirms that the employee has been issued with a first formal warning under the absence management procedure.

It also summarises the main points discussed at the meeting and explains that personal data will be collected in accordance with the company’s Data Protection Policy.

Sick pay and reasonable adjustments

The letter can also cover sick pay entitlement and any agreed reasonable adjustments to the employee’s employment, such as changes to role or working hours.

Why this long-term sickness outcome letter matters

The purpose of the long-term sickness absence meeting is to encourage and facilitate the employee’s return to work.

It also forms part of a process that may later be needed to justify a dismissal as fair. If the matter progresses, the next stage begins with the Invitation to a Stage 2 Long-term Sickness Absence Meeting.
