Anyone got any tips on how I should handle an employee who has taken sick leave for depression ? I obviously have to speak to him if only to find out if he is going to be off sick again.
It is a sickness and can be treated. Perhaps he is undergoing same. The cause can be workplace or outside. As an employer its perhaps just ok if you respect his treatment and time needed. Do you know if the investigation points to occupational related depression ... ?Anyone got any tips on how I should handle an employee who has taken sick leave for depression ?

Apparantly the guy is going through a very bad divorce so personally I do not consider he is sick..just having some personal problems. However he has a note from his doctor saying he is suffering from depression so not much I can do. Our full salary sick pay scheme is the problem ..it is being abused... I wonder how much more depressed he would be if he was not getting paid.
