Morning all
Hoping you maybe able to share your thoughts / advice.
Legal department (in house) are requesting copies of OH records for 2 employees. As such I have advised I need consent via the employee to do so. They are very unhappy with this as they have a deadline of 7 days to get all the info, and to them it appears I am blocking.
We do have a protocol which explains reasons why consent is needed.
The OH report also states that the report can be viewed by others not originally stated on the referrals in such cases etc....
However, obtaining the reports in this manner may be from the original HR officer, not OH.
Once the OHA releases to those initially agreed, then releasing to anyone else after that point I require consent.
Does / has anyone else had similar? How did you overcome this? Am I right in what am saying above?
As such a meeting has now been arranged with the company solicitor, HR and myself to discuss, I would like to ensure I have all the facts to hand.
