Sickness Absence

Our solutions provide a comprehensive web based range of facilities and functionality to assist with the management of Sickness Absence records.

Pro-active occupational health programmes can reduce absence through illness. e-OPAS allows both certified and uncertified absence to be recorded and data can be reviewed either on an individual or group basis to identify trends and issues so that these can be effectively targeted. With sickness/absence costs increasing, more organisations are beginning to develop a greater interest in the underlying causes in an effort to be able to reduce sickness/absence rates. e-OPAS aids organisations in monitoring the level of sickness/absence within an organisation in an effort to tackle the issue and reduce the ever burdening cost of such issues, according to CIPD the average cost of an absent employee per day is around £800, this figure is comprised of sick pay, the cost of providing a replacement and the drop in productivity, also included is the administrative cost of the absence. With the implementation of e-OPAS it is entirely possible that organisations will reduce the levels of sickness/absence within the organisation and reap the benefits of being equipped with a healthy, productive workforce.
