I agree with Sharon , employer's obligations are few. Pay SSP if presented with a sick note.
Paying for physiotherapy makes good sense, both in terms of getting an employee back to do their job, and also should their be a claim against the company.
However not all companies are in a financial position to do this...
I think it highly unlikely that a relatively unskilled worker would claim for loss of earnings.
Equality Act probably unlikely to apply if the injury is likely to resolve in less that 12 months.
The employers do not have a duty to put in place adjustments they have a duty to "consider reasonable adjustments"
They may consider adjustments and then decide they cannot do it..
Cynical... well I have been in OH a long time and worked in a lot of places.
Some employers really try hard.
Some work on the basis that it is cheaper to do nothing and risk that about 1 in10- employees will take them to court...
Cheers from a damp and rainy Leicester
