Posted By seanie i had a member of staff transferred to another department, there were many failings on my employers behalf and basically if the transfer had not gone ahead, the employee would have been able to make a massive ET case and received a large compensation claim. the occupational report stated that the reasonable adjustments that had been put in place should be regarded as Permanent, and there was no need for any other referrals to be made for the future, and he is covered by the DDA. however 5 months down the road we have found out that the department he was transferred to has no budget to sustain his position, it looks likely that he will be moving back to us,i have raised the report as a means to stop this happening, but have blankly been told that a new occupational health referral will have to take place as the existing one is out of date even though it was carried out at the end of April this year? this situation is already making him feel stressed, and he officially doesn't move back till October. any advice would be appreciated.

Posted By Coshh Assessor It may be true to say that the report is out of date if something has changed since it was made, this is surely always a proviso in any occ health issue. So the question is ... what has supposedly changed?

Posted By seanie this is a completely different person and has nothing to do with my last posting, i am unable to go into the full details of why the transfer was first granted, but i can assure you that the employer was at fault and had left themselves fully open to a compensation claim been made against them. there has been no change in circumstances since the last occupational report was made in April 2009
