    Employee Returning to Work after Injury

    Bit late to respond, but if I can help with anything just let me know.

    Sick leave basic questions

    Or £140 if you ask us ;) In all seriousness though, if I can help with any questions relating to occupational health, fitness for work etc then do let me know. A GP note is usually required for SSP, but remember it is only advisory and based on a 8-10 minute conversation with a generalist -...

    Business books

    Funnily enough I read Ross Brawn's book and this is referenced in that a lot!

    Business books

    I enjoy reading business auto-biographies and stories from CEOs and business people. Read some fantastic books in the last few years, some of my personal favourites were: Lost and Founder - Rand Fiskin Banking on it - Ann Boden Shoe Dog - Phil Knight Thought it'd be nice to start a thread to...

    Employment references - factual only

    If they’re the best employee you’ve ever had, then hopefully you would like to thank them by supporting their future career. I certainly would. If they’re a thieving rat (and you could prove it) then you could mention on their reference that they were dismissed for gmc. I certainly would. If...

    Employment references - factual only

    Somebody who has employed a person for several years (potentially) is going to have more insight than me, who's met them for no more than a few hours. So a second opinion is much more valuable than potentially hiring the wrong person and them not making it through their probation period - let...

    Employment references - factual only

    Interesting. So your advice is to get a line managers contact number, and phone them to ask instead. I like that idea :)

    Employment references - factual only

    Exactly. Hence my frustration that this doesn't happen, and you just get the stock response of employment dates. If I've asked for feedback from a previous employer, I would like honest, justifiable feedback, both good and bad.

    Employment references - factual only

    And if the employer had managed the issue...?

    Employment references - factual only

    I always do, but still you get the stock response. Find it very frustrating, and unreasonable.

    Employment references - factual only

    That's fine, but renders the concept of getting a reference pointless. Which is disadvantageous to both employee (if they're a good worker) and future employer.

    Employment references - factual only

    That's a good suggestion, thanks!

    Employment references - factual only

    There should be no reason why that employer can't provide information on how they've taken the piss, in order to help/warn any future employers. If it's at a stage where references are being requested, then they've probably resigned already anyway. It may even be a one or two jobs previous too.

    Employment references - factual only

    Something that really winds me up, but I would be keen to get other people's views. It frustrates me when I ask for a reference for employee, who has dedicated a chunk of their career to an organisation, only to receive the stock response of employment dates and "it's our policy not to...

    Patient Level Data V Special Category Data

    Was going to respond, but the above from Studio JK sums it up perfectly. There are two types of personal data. 'Normal' and 'special category'. Special category is more sensitive date including (but not limited to) data concerning health. Articles 6 and 9 of the GDPR are a good first step for...
