Letter Confirming the Outcome of a Stage 2 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 2 Long-term Sickness Absence Meeting and is used where the employee has reached the relevant level of absence set out in the employer’s absence management procedure.

What this Stage 2 long-term sickness absence outcome letter confirms

The letter records the key points discussed at the meeting and confirms that the employee has been issued with a second formal warning under the absence management procedure.

It also confirms 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 matters such as sick pay entitlement and agreed reasonable adjustments to the employee’s role or working hours.

Warning about the next stage of the procedure

The letter confirms that, if the sickness absence continues and Stage 3 of the absence management procedure is triggered, dismissal is a possible outcome. If the matter progresses, the next stage begins with the Invitation to a Stage 3 Long-term Sickness Absence Meeting.

Part of a fair long-term sickness absence process

Although the purpose of the long-term 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.
