Document background
The Return To Work Authorisation Form is a crucial document used in England and Wales when employees return to work following any significant absence, whether due to illness, injury, or other circumstances. This form serves multiple purposes: ensuring legal compliance with health and safety regulations, documenting fitness for work, recording any necessary workplace adjustments, and protecting both employer and employee interests. It should be completed before an employee resumes their duties and typically requires input from various stakeholders including the employee, line manager, and potentially occupational health professionals.
