Welcome to the breakfast seminar where our employment law lawyers shed light on the topic of sickness absence follow-up.
Fresh figures from Statistics Norway show that sickness absence in Norwegian working life has risen to the highest level in 15 years in the second quarter of 2024. Sickness absence of 7.1 per cent amounted to 10.6 million lost working days. Around 1.7 million of these were due to self-reported sickness absence, while around 9 million were due to doctor-reported sickness absence.
With these dramatic figures as a backdrop, we invite our employment law lawyers to a breakfast meeting where we will highlight the topic:
- What is the employer’s duty to follow up on sick leave?
- What special protection does an employee have in the event of illness
– and when can sickness absence in itself be grounds for dismissal?
