In order to determine whether reasonable workplace adjustments are necessary, employers can ask questions. If the employee requires an adapted work environment, they may ask about it. If flexibility in the working day will be required, for example, more frequent breaks or remote working options, the employer may ask about this. The employer may ask about situations in which it will be necessary for the employee to obtain additional resources in order to perform their duties. It is possible to ask questions for monitoring purposes. An employee might be asked about recent absences or how their current working arrangement is going. It is acceptable for an employer to inquire about a medical condition if it is believed that the condition may interfere with the employee's ability to perform their duties. Employers cannot ask a medical professional for an employee's medical records or information about the employee's health without the employee's permission. Employees have a right to check their records before they are passed on, even if they approve of this. Any health condition that arises during employment cannot be requested by an employer. If an employee volunteer’s information, the employer must make reasonable adjustments to support the employee. Contact or visit Q Day Walk-In Clinic today for all of your occupational medicine needs.
