Debate
Employment Rights BillContribution
In Denmark, where encouragement to return to work is built into sick leave, requiring people to stay connected to their employers and take part in phased returns, outcomes are far better than in the UK and dependency is, again, lower. In the Netherlands, employers get support for sick leave only where they have required people to keep engaged and have proof that that is part of the whole system.
