New Statutory Sick Pay Scheme & Its Implications for Absence Management
Thursday 8 July 2021 (10.00am - 10.45am) with The HR Suite
The government has committed to bringing statutory sick pay into legislation by the end of 2021. This will be a major change for Irish employers in terms of costs and absence management. The governments statutory sick pay scheme is due to be phased in over a 4-year period. It is hoped to begin with 3 paid sick days per year for each employee starting in 2022, rising to 5 days in 2023 and 7 days in 2024. It is hoped that employers will cover the cost of 10 sick days per year by 2025. The government are intended to introduce a phased approach to allow employers to prepare and adjust for the scheme and its associated costs.
During this webinar, Caroline Reidy, Managing Director of The HR Suite and HR and Employment Law Expert, will discuss this new introduction and there will be the opportunity for questions to be answered.
