Employee Sick, Employee Surveillance, Employees on the Sick, Employment Sickness

Employer’s claim they need to protect themselves from dishonest employees; employees claim that employee surveillance contravenes employee privacy and discourages employees from taking days off.

Employers are within their rights to carry out workplace observations such as employee surveillance to assess employment sickness, given that they act in accordance with legal legislation. So in some cases employees may be kept under surveillance while on legitimate leave, but it’s the employees who take advantage of their management who are causing employers to take action this way.

So you’ve had enough of the odd few of your employees on the sick or “pulling sickies” and having something urgent to attend every other week. Of course, sick employees and employee absence could be genuine, or actually need to be somewhere urgently; however, long term absenteeism and employee absenteeism threatens a company’s capability to cover the cost of these nonattendances. 

In some rare cases employees have been found renovating their homes while their colleagues are desperately trying to cover the missing work as well as their own. Of course, this is an extreme example.
