Hi Julie,
You must have the employees consent they are trying to pull a fast one.
Refer to the Data Protection Act as if they do not know this and of course
your Code of Conduct.
How horrible for you, I would get Union support given the threat they have
made.
They do try it on.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Employee Tribunals
Hello All,
I need some advice please.
An employee is taking the Company to court following an altercation with a
manager which led to the employee having time of work. He is still
currently off with depression.
During this time, the Company paid for him to see a Psychiatrist, a
Behavioural Psychotherapist (including CBT sessions) and a Counsellor.
I had to see the Company Solicitor today to answer questions and she also
wanted copies of his medical reports from the Psychiatrist and
Psychologist.
Do I need to obtain his consent before I give the Solicitor copies of his
med report. I was told by Solicitor and HR manager in so many words that
if I didn't then the Company could dispense of me but I am aware that I
could compromise my pin number etc.
They also said that because they paid for the report then they have a
right to see it. Help!!!
I also have to attend the ET but I will think about that nearer the time.
Thanks for any help.
Regards
Julie
