Scenario 4: Sidney has recently been missing work.She tends to call in at the last minute, and there seems to be a pattern developing of Mondays and Fridays.Sidney has been in rehabilitation in the past for alcohol abuse.You need to talk to Sidney.

Does it matter why Sidney in scenario 4 missed work? Do we WANT to know? Sometimes in HR, the less you know the better, especially when it comes to medical conditions.

If we connect to Workplace Safety and Health, does anyone see any potential issues with safety if Sidney is indeed back to drinking....or is what she does on her own time her own business?
