What sort of leave is this?

29th March 2018, 19:15:PM

My GP has said I'm fit to return to work and has signed a sick note to this effect, but my employer's OH doctor recommends my employer commissions a report from a neuro psychologist prior to any return.

As I'm fit to return I do not believe I should have to take any delay as annual leave and it can't be classed as sick leave, as I'm considered fit to work. What is the solution? Would this be "garden" leave?

Is there anything in your company's sickness policy that covers how they handle this scenario? In my view and looking at it practically if you have been signed as fit to return to work by your GP but it is your company wanting further investigation and they do not want you to return to work until this has happened then they should place you on paid absence. As you say it is not sickness as you are fit to return to work according to your GP and you are not taking annual leave.

I do not provide advice by PM although I may on occasion ask you to send me documents this way but any related advice will be provided back on your thread.

I do my best to provide good practical advice, however I do so without liability.
If you have any doubts then do please seek professional legal advice.
