Thanks everybody for your valuable input. We are following the same procedure here, however sometimes our HR gets confused as to the extent of the patients' rights to a particular decision so I have had to draft a policy which clearly outlines each entity's role.
Thanks again,

Enass

We follow the same procedure as Warner. However, if there is a drug/alcohol issue we communicate to the HR business  partner the positive drug test. We do not communicate any of this information to managers.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Fitness for duty policy

 

Dear all:

  For those of you who work in university settings, I was curious to know how do you convey the outcome of a fitness for duty evaluation back to the employer and who and how does the employee him/herself get informed of the outcome of the evaluation ?

 

  We only share the work recommendations with the employer however the employee does sign a release of information just in case more information is needed about his medical history which applies to the reason for the fitness for duty.  

 

Thanks
