<p>The Office of the Secretary of State for Scotland does not employ staff directly.
All staff that join do so on an assignment, loan or secondment from other government
departments, who remain the employers. These Departments have their own absence management
policies and recording processes that apply to those of their staff working in the
office. Detailed reasons for absence attributable to mental illness and other sickness
absence is not retained by the Office of the Secretary of State for Scotland.</p><p>
</p><p>The office takes the mental health and general wellbeing of staff very seriously
and works alongside the employing departments to ensure that anyone who is experiencing
issues receives support and assistance.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
