The Forum for Private Business is warning that a single day of weather-related employee absenteeism across the country could end up costing business £230m.
“Employees make businesses grow and losing key staff because of the weather, even for just a day, is very damaging, particularly in the current economic climate,” said FPPB research manager Tom Parry. “It’s important that employers put in place contingency plans for these occasions and that these plans comply with employment law.”
