I have an employee who is out of work due to a very minor knee surgery. While most people would have been back to work within one week, she has been out the past seven. I do not have a problem with people taking time to heal their wounds, however, this individual actually came to two work-related holiday parties, the first one 5 days post surgery and the second one 3 weeks post surgery. At the second party, she was witnessed DANCING. She, actually, was the FIRST one on the dance floor. I am told that there is little I can do about this. I have a big concern about employee morale because her co-workers are all picking up the slack in her absence. There has been quite a bit of talk about her dancing scene. This was over three weeks ago. I'm STILL not sure when she will be returning, but when she does I would like to address it. Any advice?

That's a tough one. I think I would start with the Disability insurance carrier. You may need to review the specifics of the plan. I believe you have the right to request medical information confirming that she is either unable to work or able to work with certain restrictions.
I would be interested in hearing how this turns out. Good luck. |
