When a sick leave is justified by inaccurate of inexistent causes, it may have several consequences for the employer: workforce disorganization, replacement cost, negative effects on the other employees motivation… In some cases the “fake” sick leave is even linked to unfair competition, for instance an employee working in a concealed way for a competitor or developping his own activity. Solvest supports your company facing these issues in compliance with the labour law and the protection of the employees privacy.
