Currently the public service procedures for managing sickness absences are being revised to provide public sector agencies with clear, concise and easy to follow procedures for dealing with sickness absence issues and alternative courses of action. When finalised, both these documents will be included in the Personnel Handbook.
These documents are being developed as a direct response to the 1998 Performance Audit Report Management of Sickness Absence in the NSW Public Sector and in consultation with the NSW Audit Office, government agencies and major public sector unions.
These documents complement the Managing and Supporting Attendance at Work Policy Framework.
