In an employment law update, Charles Pigott looks at absence management and the band of reasonable responses test, in this week’s NLJ

Pigott, professional support lawyer, Mills & Reeve, considers a recent case concerning a cabin crew member at British Airways, who had health difficulties resulting in lengthy periods of absence from work.

The case concerned whether BA’s treatment of the situation, including extending his termination date seven times, was unfair.

Pigott covers the possible psychological impact of this on the employee, in this interesting case.
