[MCOH-EH] Off Hours Fitness For Duty

[Teichman, Ron F]

Charles,

Can you define exactly what you mean by Fitness for Duty? In my experience these are scheduled evaluations addressing concerns about whether someone is able to return to work. Various documents are gathered and an appointment made, thus we never need to do them off hours. Are you referencing something different?

Happy New Year
We have historically utilized our ED to assess employees in the rare event a fitness for duty evaluation is needed in the off hours when Employee Health is not open.
There is a protocol that has been in place.
What do other organizations do?
If substance usage is needed , do you utilize your hospital lab? Our sourced lab?
How do you define roles and responsibilities including manager, HR, EH, EAP and others?
As always
Thank you
Charlie
