About the Webinar

An employee is absent and provides a medical certificate that states they are unfit for work due to medical reasons. The absence continues, with the employee periodically submitting further certificates without providing any further detail about their condition or when they will be able to return to work. What happens next? This session examines this scenario and considers:

  • What are your options for injured workers?
  • Can they perform the inherent requirements of the role?
  • What reasonable adjustments are you required to make?
  • Getting an opinion from employee’s nominated doctor
  • When can you seek an independent medical exam?
  • Can you terminate an employee for refusing to undergo an IME?
  • What happens if the medical advice is inconsistent?
  • When should you implement a return to work plan?
  • How far should you be involved in the rehabilitation process?
  • Dealing with regulatory compliance covering injured workers
  • When is it appropriate to dismiss an injured worker?
  • Have you considered the risks of terminating? Understanding your exposure to discrimination, unfair dismissal, workers compensation and adverse action claims
