If
you are on duty and experience an accident or feel unfit for duty, please
contact a senior member of staff on duty / on call by telephone.
Do not leave the premises without their knowledge.
-
If
unwell, please contact senior staff at the earliest possible moment before
9.30 a.m. This will enable
senior staff to arrange cover for you if necessary.
-
Only
communicate with Manager, Depute, Team Leader or Director.
If none of these are available, the residential secretary.
-
Do
not rely on basic grade staff to relay the message. Please contact the senior residential staff on duty or
on-call at weekends. It will be
their responsibility to inform others and arrange cover. If the Director receives the message, he will pass this
information on immediately to the senior who is on duty / on call that
evening / day. If senior
residential staff are on day shift, it will be their responsibility to
arrange cover.
-
Please
try to telephone in yourself. Senior
staff require certain information for personnel records and can clarify any
late sick lines, etc. The
residential management team are concerned about their staff's health
difficulties and appreciate the opportunity to talk to you directly.

doctor's certificate is also required.

a lengthy period of illness, each member of staff's illness will be regarded
independently, a medical check-up by Hayfield’s chosen consultant may be
requested.

Statutory
Sick Pay will be calculated by the Director, if required.
-
When
you have recovered, it is in your best interest to telephone in, stating
that you are 'fit for work' even if you are not scheduled to work.
Your accumulative sick leave will stop being calculated from the day
that the message is received, providing that it is before 10.00 a.m.
-
Please
ensure that your doctor’s certificates are handed/posted in promptly.
If not, it will be recorded that the procedure has not been followed.
This may result in being recorded as 'absent without leave' and
Hayfield reserves the right to withhold all sick pay which would otherwise
have been due.

On
return from sickness, you must attend a “return to work interview” with
Manager or Depute as soon as possible and no later than the following
Wednesday.
