Dear List
I have followed the questions and responses posted here with great interest over the last few years, although have not posted myself, until now.
I would like to ask if any colleagues have been asked to request a GP report, where an employer suspects malingering in the case of frequent intermittent absence?
I have reviewed my Occupational Health Law textbook for reasons to support not requesting a report in this context, however I have not been able to identify a suitable response. I feel that writing for a report on these grounds would be unfair on an employee and the idea does not sit well with me.
Perhaps I am looking at this incorrectly, therefore any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Lucy
