If an employee returns from a 12-week leave and begins to call in sick, the employer should first assess the situation to determine if there are legitimate health concerns. It's important to document the absences and communicate with the employee to understand their condition. If the pattern continues, the employer may consider requesting medical documentation to verify the legitimacy of the absences. Depending on company policy and the situation, further actions may include a meeting to discuss attendance expectations or potential disciplinary measures if the absences are deemed excessive or unsubstantiated.
