Rehabilitation
|
A rehabilitation process should be initiated if there is a risk of sick leave for an employee, repeated short-term absences, long-term sick leave, other signs of ill health or if work ability is unclear. The employer is responsible for work adaptation and rehabilitation as long as there is an employment relationship and the goal should in most cases be for the employee to continue working in the company.
It is important that a rehabilitation process is started as soon as possible to reduce the risk of or shorten the sick leave period. The longer an employee is away from work, the harder it will be to come back. As an independent expert resource, Visida can help you in your rehabilitation work. Together we discuss what you need help with in each individual case, such as rehab meetings, work ability investigations and risk assessments of work steps. |
