Employee request for Referral to OH

Clare

Hi

I have usually encountered employees being unwilling to go to OH...

However I have now got a difficult employee who is currently being performance managed and is now complaining of workplace bullying and work related stress and has asked for an OH referral.  He is still attending for work and the company has suggested he go to his GP to get advice on any health issues.

Does the company have to refer an employee who asks for an OH referral and what are the risks of not referring as it is likely this is part of a game being played?

Any advice would be helpful!

  • Personally given the circumstances I would be referring them to OH as quickly as possible and asking some pretty direct question. Its unlikely you will get a whole lot of useful stuff from his GP and at some stage you will probably need to use OH anyway. So now rather than later.

    If rather than being difficult he is stressed and is being bullied and you refuse a referral to OH then an ET is likely to look very unfavourably on this.
