 Fit notes could create delays in getting people in mature aged jobs back to work after spending time off sick.This is according to Peter Barnard, the registrar at the Grimsby Institute of Further and Higher Education, who expressed concerns that giving GPs the power to decide whether staff in mature aged jobs can return to work could slow down existing procedures. Speaking to employeebenefits.co.uk, he said that regardless of the fit note system - which comes into effect on April 6th 2010 - businesses should be helping their employees get back into their office jobs as part of an ongoing managed process. "We have been helping managers and employees return to work by holding discussions with those who are absent and discussing what it would be like for them to return to work," he said. Despite his concerns, fit notes have been welcomed by a range of business organisations, including the Institute of Payroll Professionals. It said the system will create more flexibility in dealing with absence through sickness. Posted by Daniel Frost
