Medical Incapacity. In the event of prolonged illness, suspected incapacity or concerns about the Employees’ attendance at work (including as a result of intermittent absences), the Employer may request that an Employee undergo an examination by a registered medical practitioner for an assessment of an Employee’s fitness for work and/or return to work. The parties agree that the primary purpose of any medical examinations is to support the Employee’s wellbeing, recovery and return to work. Accordingly, the selection of the relevant practitioner, (although nominated by the University) is to be by mutual agreement. The cost of the medical examinations will be met by the Employer. A copy of any relevant report provided by the agreed medical practitioner will be available to both parties. For Employees who are unfit to work but progressing toward recovery and a return to work may be granted leave either with or without pay (if an Employee has exhausted their sick leave entitlements). Where an Employee remains unfit to work after a reasonable timeframe, or prognosis for recovery is poor, provided that reasonable time has been given for recovery and the Employer has taken practicable steps to support the Employee to return to work, termination of employment may be considered. In cases where termination of employment is necessary, a notice period of 3 months will be applicable.
Medical Incapacity. G4.12.1 In the event of prolonged illness, suspected incapacity or concerns about the Employee’s attendance at work (including as a result of intermittent absences), the Employer may request that an Employee undergo an examination by a registered medical practitioner for an assessment of an Employee’s fitness for work and/or return to work.
Medical Incapacity. In the event that the employee is incapacitated and unable to work due to long- term illness or an injury, the employee’s employment may be reviewed for reasons of incapacity. Before taking any action under this clause, the employer shall require, at the employer’s expense, the employee to undergo a medical examination by a medical practitioner specialising in occupational health nominated by the employer. The employer shall take into account any reports or recommendations made available to them (and employee or nominated representative) as a result of the examination, or any other relevant medical reports or recommendations which the employer might receive from the employee or on the employee’s behalf.
Medical Incapacity. If you have been absent from work due to illness either on an intermittent or ongoing basis, and the medical prognosis is such that you are unlikely to return to your normal duties and hours of work within a reasonable period, termination of your employment on the grounds of incapacity may be considered, in accordance with the provisions of the Sick leave policy.
