Sick leave and early death
by Philip
A report has found that employees who have taken long term sick leave with a psychiatric condition, eg depression, were far more likely to die an early death from cancer than employees with excellent attendance records. It does add credence to the view that a healthy mind can preserve a healthy body and vice versa.
Only tangentially related to employment law I know, but the finding that employees who had one absence of 7 days or more had a 66% chance of a premature death could give return to work interviews added spice.
