- Description
- The treatise will investigate, examine and determine how the three types of absenteeism affects the local government sector, the impact absenteeism has on service delivery. The study will examine how the employers and employees are protected by legislation when confronted with absenteeism. The three types of absenteeism, namely absence without leave, desertion and abuse of sick leave can be considered as misconduct which may result in termination of contract of employment. The treatise will unpack these three types of absenteeism in relation to the provisions applicable in South African legislation, policies and collective agreements of the local government. A comparison of the local government policies with public, and private sector will be considered. The case study of local government will be provided wherein the basic services that are provided by local government will be discussed to give a better understanding of how these three types of absenteeism impact on the delivery of such services. Recommendation will be provided regarding research findings and conclusion drawn from literature review.
