absenteeism
Mar 20, 2013, 11:02 AM
Hi,
Our local office has some 20+ employees (UK), one of those being the UK HR/Office Manager.
The HR/Office manager works in a small room, with the Finance manager and Finance assistant.
The HR manager is contracted to work 3 days out of 5 - 7 hours each.
In the last 3 months - the HR manager has been noticeably absent, in that:
They will often leave work around lunchtime - due to 'a child's illness'
They spend a fair amount of their time without work to do, or looking for work.
This pattern has repeated almost every week for the last 3 months - I can't remember this person being present for a full week since Christmas.
How should I approach this? Blatant absenteeism annoys me, as they will still be picking up their full salary, while others are snowed under.
Their direct manager works from another country - so the majority of this goes unseen by a supervisor.
If it is reported to their supervisor, there is a high chance that one of the two finance members working in the same room will be wrongly identified as 'reporting' them.
Any suggestions?
