‘Pingdemic’ Self-Isolation Crisis | Your Free Guide to Managing Sickness and Absence

According to the Financial Times, 20% of the UK workforce were absent due to either positive COVID-19 test results or self-isolation last week* (w/c 12 July), causing huge staff shortages for employers.

With more than half a million pinged by the NHS Test and Trace App**– leading to what’s been termed ‘pingdemic’ – it’s likely your business will be facing increased cases of self-isolation. But did you know, as an employer you could receive a fine of up to £10K for failing to comply with self-isolation rules?

The HR experts, Cold Chain Federation member Citation, have created this free guide summarising how to best manage sickness and absences correctly – from the processes you should follow and fit notes, to managing long-term absences and pay.
