Hello
I need some advice in regards to "employee consent" and how that works in OH versus "The Law"
I have been asked by an employment law firm to supply them with an OHA on an ad-hoc basis to assist them with sickness absence cases whereby the OHA assesses the sick employee and writes a report - so far all this is standard stuff BUT what the law firm wants to do is work with the OHA in formulating the report to incorporate advice and recommendations on medical / legal / and employee issues
So my questions are:-
1 - Can you see an issue with this?
2 - As far as I am aware from my limited knowledge, an OHA can't discuss medical matters with anyone else??
3 - Would you need consent for this??
4 - Are there any specific laws surrounding this?
5 - And more generally what regulations exists within OH that would apply here?
Thanks
