Sick Leave Policy

A Sick Leave Policy is a formal guideline established by an organization outlining the procedures and entitlements related to employee absences due to illness or medical reasons. This policy typically defines the eligibility criteria for taking sick leave, the amount of leave employees are entitled to, the process for notifying supervisors of an absence, and any requirements for medical documentation. The policy may also specify the distinction between paid and unpaid sick leave, the accrual of sick leave, and how unused sick leave is handled. Overall, the Sick Leave Policy aims to provide support to employees when they are unwell, while ensuring that the organization can manage attendance and maintain operational effectiveness.
