A Lisburn DUP rep calculated a 'rough' figure of £3m costs of high sickness levels at the local authority
The corporate committee was provided with a workforce report this week for the period ending 30 September 2024.
However, the chamber heard that an "error on the new IT system" had been identified, which had added more employees, but counted the "correct number of days absent". "My rough calculations would estimate it to be somewhere around £3m or very near to that per year. This is a cost that the ratepayer is having to pick up. We are looking at a 3% to 4% rates rise."
"Other staff are having to work harder to compensate, it has a knock on effect. We should have an incentive or looking at rewarding or recognising those who are only taking seven days or less off a year on sickness."
