Q: An employee claiming against my company for industrial injury wants to return to work with a lighter workload, but has refused the duties offered because we are unable to give her enough hours. I have a doctor's report stating that she cannot return to her original job and there are no reasonable adjustments I could make to allow her to do so. What should I do?
A: It may be possible to dismiss the employee with the aid of an up-to-date doctor's report, but you will still need to assess whether the requests from the employee are reasonable. You may also need to speak to the personal injury solicitors involved, as it could affect the claim.
