Do you have an option within your company policy to have the employee examined by a company doctor?HI,
the employee in question has already presented a sick cert. As far as I know we can't start 'listing' the types of conditions that the company sick pay scheme covers. If we have a policy of covering peoples pay while they are out sick this has to apply across the board. If an employee presents a cert from a medical doctor stating that they are not fit to work I cannot as an employer question the validity of that, so I cannot distinguish between the person that tripped while they were drunk and broke their arm OR the person that has cancer.
such as someone deliberately breaking their own hand in order to sit at home.
The company doctor will say whatever you pay him to say. At a minimum, he should be able to tell you whether two weeks is anyway reasonable recovery time for this particular procedure.I can send him to the Company Doctor but I doubt the company doctor will disagree and say he is fit to work; these type of people never say yes or no, it will be some type of mixed response
The company doctor will say whatever you pay him to say.
