About the event
With the Labour Laws Amendment Act introducing extended parental, adoption, and commissioning parental leave, managing absenteeism has become more complex and more critical than ever. This workshop delivers the insight and tools you need to maintain productivity, ensure compliance, and deal decisively with leave abuse.
Delegates will gain a clear understanding of how to identify problematic patterns, verify legitimate absences, and apply consistent and legally sound processes when managing employee attendance.

Key Focus Areas:
Overview of all leave types and their legal frameworks
Calculating the annual cost of leave to the employer
Identifying leave abuse patterns and red flags
