Reply to Illse: We would suggest that you have an openhearted disussion with the employee regarding the situation and find out what his perspective is and what his future plans are. Hopefully this can lead to a mutually acceptable solution which you can formalise in a written agreement. However, if the employment relationship is strained or you sense resistance, I suggest you follow the Medical Incapacity procedure. You’re welcome to give us a call on 0860 102 871 if you need assistance.
