    Mich. businesses brace for swine flu absences

    Comments 0 | Recommend 0

    Health officials are urging Michigan businesses to be ready to be flexible about employee absences.

     

    The Flint Journal reports that absenteeism could top 30 percent at businesses as workers stay home either because they're sick or to care for a sick family member.

     

    The Michigan Department of Community Health and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend businesses have contingency plans in case swine flu breaks out in their office.

     

    They also advise businesses offer flexible policies that encourage workers to stay home when ill and to be able to take time off to care for a sick family member.
