One of my employees has injured himself outside of work hours and is now no longer able to perform hisrnusual tasks. Can I have him work in the office on other duties?rnYes you can, but it does depend on the extent of the employee's injuries. These will be assessed by a professional doctor, who will then supply a Statement of Fitness for Work - more commonly known as a 'Fit Note'. This document is issued when the doctor believes the person may be fit for work, with some help from the employer.The content of the Fit Note -which is not required until after the seventh calendar day of sickness - does not impose any compulsory requirements on the employer, with whom the final decision rests.
