What to do if an employee is unable to return from holiday as planned? 

With the recent flight disruptions, it’s worth considering and communicating how your business will manage any unforeseen events during the holiday period.

In the event that an employee is unable to return, there are a number of options to consider.

💡  Are you able to agree an extended period of leave, either paid or unpaid?
💡  Do you need to re-distribute some of their work and update the wider team on when your employee is expected to return?
💡 On their return to work, schedule some time to make sure they are fit to return and help them to catch up on their workload and priorities.
