The new medical “fit note” has been unveiled by the Government for consultaion over the next 12 weeks.
Managing sickness is always a challenge for employers and it hasn’t been helped by the ‘sick note’ system which makes sickness a black and white issue i.e. you are either fit to work or you're not.
The “fit note” is designed to set out what an employee can do to enable them to stay at work or return as soon as possible.
The “fit note” should be implemented in Spring 2010.
