Ask his management team or HR for a formal referral, issue you him with an
appointment to come into OH for a review based on the management referral and
refuse to do building assessments or private eye work for HR.
Also, stick to your guns about home visits and perhaps suggest in the first
instance a member of the HR team should be doing the home visit to complete an
initial assessment of circumstances.
Perhaps also if you have a sickness absence policy it may be worth checking
what the trigger points are for referral to OH as this person is entitled to
self-certify, as you know, for his initial 5 working day period. I would have
thought that his line management team would have been following him up initially
and then making a referral on health grounds not buidling regulations.
Hope this helps

Just to change the subject and ask for some thoughts;
I have just been asked to make a home visit to an employee who is first
day sick with "Migraine, and is having a lot of work done on his house "
I am newly in post and putting together a protocol on home visits but
this is not even on my horizon. Historically HR have policed this ( I
see it as policing) and now they are trying to pass this to me ,any
helpful suggestions would be welcome. Needless to say I am not doing the
visit.

Ultimately, I guess, everyone on the planet is related in some way to
everyone else, because didn't we all start off from just Adam & Eve?
Can't quite see any doctor, nurse, surgeon or whoever refusing to deal
with a patient in A/E or on the tabel just because they might have
crossed paths at some point in their lives. are we professional enough
just to get on with the job?
With kind regards,
James
