Practice area Incapacity for work
Sickness reports are unavoidable if you have employees. In practice, these lead to questions such as: What is expected of me as an employer? What steps should I take? What constitutes appropriate action if I do not trust a sickness report? When should I engage the company doctor? Should I involve the Employee Insurance Agency (UWV)?And if all of this is not yet complicated enough, there are also numerous questions in the area of sickness absence policy, reintegration and dismissal:
- Is my sickness absence protocol sufficient?
- I wish to reorganise. Do sick employees cause complications?
- How can I prevent UWV from extending the period during which I have to continue to pay an employee’s salary?
- In what cases do I have the right to dismiss a sick employee?
- Do I always have to pay a transition payment when dismissing a sick employee?
- I am a self-insurer as regards the Return to Work (Partially Disabled Persons) Regulations (WGA) / Sickness Benefits Act (ZW). What does this involve?
