Doctor’s Release Clause Samples

A Doctor's Release clause requires an individual, typically an employee, to obtain written confirmation from a licensed physician stating they are fit to return to work or resume certain activities after an illness or injury. In practice, this clause is often invoked when someone has been absent due to medical reasons, and the employer needs assurance that the person can safely perform their duties without risk to themselves or others. The core function of this clause is to protect both the individual and the organization by ensuring that health and safety standards are met before resuming normal responsibilities.
