Dear list,
I've just seen an employee who presented a manager with a private note (he was charged £15) requesting that he avoid working in a chilled environment for two weeks whilst he receives treatment for a chest infection.
Neither his manager or I have a problem with this - I'm just a little perplexed as to why he was charged. He was seen by his own GP in a routine clinic and was prescribed treatment. He mentioned what he did for a living and asked for support with a temporary workplace adjustment. Should he not have just been given a Fit Note with the adjustments recorded on that?
Before I send him back to query why he was charged, I would value the opinion of anyone who knows the facts regarding charging.
Andy
