Employee request for Referral to OH

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!

  • I think it would show the company to be being supportive of the employee if you referred them to OH, which would be a definite benefit if the workplace bullying is true.

    Also, how would it look to other employees if this employee started telling everyone that you refused their request to be referred to OH......?
