Terminating Employment
Step 1.2:
Have you reviewed the employee’s medical condition and prognosis thoroughly?
Step Details
Explanation:
Before deciding to terminate, it’s essential to have a clear understanding of the employee’s medical condition and their long-term prognosis. This may involve obtaining a medical report from their GP or occupational health specialist. You must assess whether the employee is likely to return to work or if their condition makes this impossible.
Action:
Request a medical report with the employee’s consent. This should provide a detailed prognosis and indicate whether a return to work is possible and within what time frame. Ensure that all reports are reviewed carefully and discussed with HR and legal advisors.
