Fit Note Changes & Proving Employee Sickness
Manage episode 334240127 series 3362440
Employees can now be signed off work when sick by nurses, occupational therapists, pharmacists and physiotherapists who can sign statements of fitness for work, also known as a GP fit note. This change has been brought in to ease the burden on GPs.
But what might this mean for employers who suspect that a worker is exaggerating their condition for some reason: perhaps to avoid performance management or disciplinary hearings, or to take advantage of contractual sick pay? Employment Associate Deborah Scales explains.
