  1. Return to Work Interviews after Sickness

    What Carole says is correct. Medication details are private and to an extent irrelevant, the important issues relate to their effects and how they impact on you, your work and the workplace environment. Having the medication question as a feature of an RTW form/interview is intrusive.

  2. Return to Work Interviews after Sickness

    I don't know about a legal time limit but surely the clue is in the name! The whole point of doing these interviews is on the day they rtw and preferably before they start work. If its been a return from a long term sickness absence you need to establish what the needs of the employee are, if ther

  4. Passport before interview

    I work in education and it is part of our safe recruitment practice to ask to see proof that an individual has the right to work in the UK at the interview stage. We also ask them to bring their passport where possible (not everybody will have a passport) or some other form of photographic ID. They

  5. Passport before interview

    My understanding is that there is a requirement for you to obtain a copy of passport or full birth certificate as proof of an employee's eligibility to work in the UK. Asking to see a passport prior to interview would possibly expose you to the possibilty of a discrimination claim. Hope that helps

  10. Return to Work Interviews

    I am confused. Normally when somebody is away from the workplace they need to send in some form of "evidence" that they are indeed on sick leave to cover their absence. This would have been with a Med 3 but now is the new sick note. Their GP would put on that certificate the reason for their absence

  11. Return to Work Interviews

  19. Return to Work Interviews after Sickness

    Carole I fully agree with Andy. Perhaps it might help to consider a different scenario. You suspect an employee has been stealing items from the production line and selling them on Ebay. You conduct an investigation which includes interviewing the employee and asking him to provide items of evidence. The employee has seen his own solicitor who sends you a letter. You then think you have a case to dismiss for gross misconduct, so you ask a lawyer for advice. Would you expect the employee to be able to 'vet' the advice from your lawye...
