We’re delighted to bring the Friday Workplace Briefing back to your inboxes for 2026.
This week’s session features Jim Babalis, presenting for the very first time, alongside Kim McLagan, as they unpack a critical workplace issue: medical absence and termination.
The briefing will explore when prolonged absence may allow for termination, particularly in circumstances where an employee has failed to provide adequate medical evidence. Our presenters will discuss key considerations for employers, practical risks, and how to navigate these situations lawfully and fairly.
Join us for timely insights and practical guidance to help you manage prolonged medical absence with confidence.
