Abuse Of Sick Leave
Occurs when an Employee takes paid sick leave without a genuine medical condition.
Employers should deal with this abuse firmly, consistently and fairly.
Keep accurate attendance and sick-leave records.
Some Employees even produce fraudulent medical certificates to cover for their absence.
It is important for Employers to be aware of the sick leave entitlements in the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997.
