The TUC today (Friday) called on employers to work closely with unions to ensure that the Government's soon to be introduced 'fit notes' work to the benefit of the thousands of workers in the UK who are made ill or injured every year as a result of their jobs.
The challenge to employers comes as the TUC publishes a guide to the new method for reporting sickness, which will see changes to the current system of issuing sick notes. From 6 April 2010 GPs will be able to assess an individual worker's suitability to return to work, and where appropriate, suggest a return to a certain type of work, even if it's not to do their original job.
