In this week's podcast, we look at some key areas of consideration for an employer with an employee on long-term sickness absence and possible pitfalls to avoid. In particular, we cover: - obtaining medical advice on the employee's condition and fitness for work; - holiday in the context of long-term sickness absence; - managing an employee on long-term sickness absence who is disabled; and some of the steps you'll need to take before considering dismissal for incapability. Presenter Ellie Gelder is joined by Sarah Anderson.
