Hi Folks A manager has contacted me to discuss a fit note recently handed in by an employee. In the diagnosis line the GP has said "family crisis". The manager is telling me that he does not think he should accept this as a valid fit note, as family crisis is obviously not a diagnosis. The manager is calling in to see me for some advice later - any thoughts? I'm checking through the DWP advice again regarding fit notes but would really like to hear what you think too. I tend to agree with the manager, but how would you manage this one? If there's a family crisis going on, quibbling over the wording of the fit note isn't going to help matters, but I understand that management has to follow a certain process as well. Opinions gratefully received! Thanks Roisin ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
