Hi Lucy,
The employee needs to have informed consent with respect to what seeking GP report for. HR can seek reports Independant if OH - whoever requests the report the employee needs understanding of the process that can be discussed in person or via phone.
I think that’s what you’re asking?

If an employer is actually requesting a report because they are considering an ill health dismissal, can we request this without assessing that employee in a formal attendance management review, i.e. stage 3 final hearing? If it was to later transpire that the report was being commissioned for this reason, and the employee did not know this, then they have not really given valid consent for this. Please correct me if I am wrong though.
