Who is Libel

Hi , Mick thanks for the reply.
I'm trying to careful because it's on a public forum.
But the person's solicitor, is being passed between the two , whether it's a stalling tactic.
The person is being pressured back to work, but is unable to do his job.
I don't think the accident has been reported to health and safety, because they haven't asked for a statement.
Could the reason he wants the person back at work is to sack him ?

Is this person in a union?

If they are then it needs reporting to the union.

If they’re not in a union I’d strongly suggest a visit to a solicitor who deals with employment law.

In the meantime I’d suggest a visit to their GP to get the injury assessed and to get a sick note.

They’ll probably be very stressed and anxious about this situation and can probably get a sick note to reflect this.

I would also speak to the Heath and safely executive about this ( or a solicitor will ) because I believe they’ve broken the law by not reporting an injury of this nature.

I certainly wouldn’t be forced back to work if unfit but he really needs a medical assessment to back him up ASAP.
