If you look at cases in the courts where the accused does not attend a court hearing because of "stress caused by the action" the courts will only accept that the accused does not attend when in possession of a medical certificate from their GP.
Maybe a way to manage this is for the OHA or OHP to issue a Fitness (or not) Statement to attend a disciplinary hearing.
can I ask for the list's views and opinions on fitness to attend
disciplinary hearings.
Members of staff who are currently in the system of being investigated for
disciplinary matters have gone on sickness absence due to stress caused by
this action. HR are pushing for OH to say that these individuals are fit to
attend meetings of the disciplinary process. Our viewpoint is that they are
not at present but correspondence may be sent through the post.
The OH perspective is to support the member of staff. HR's seems to be to
pursue the disciplinary process a.s.a.p.
Has anyone had similar experiences to this and what was the outcome??

Glenn Raybone
