Occupational health assessment pre starting job

1 reply

Friend had occupational health assessment yesterday over phone as part of pre job checks. Because he’s been off from his previous role for 8.5 months due to specific work related stress the assessor said he now has to have another assessment with a doctor.

Friend is now quite low, in part I think I bit of fear they might retract job but also because there’s no date of when he will speak to doctor and he really wants to get started in new role.

Any advice appreciated x

Well thats pretty standard if someone has been off for 8.5 months with specific work related stress
They need to ensure he is fit to do the job but also if there are any workplace adaptations needed
