Document background
A Physician Return To Work Letter is an essential document in the Nigerian workplace that bridges the gap between medical leave and workplace reintegration. This document is required when an employee has been absent from work due to illness, injury, or medical procedure and is now ready to resume their duties. The letter, which must comply with Nigerian medical practice regulations and labor laws, provides official medical clearance for the employee's return to work. It typically includes the physician's assessment of the employee's fitness for duty, any necessary workplace accommodations, and specific guidelines for a safe return to work. This document is particularly important in the Nigerian context as it helps employers maintain compliance with local occupational health and safety regulations while protecting employee welfare.
