The fit note system has not been effective in reducing unwarranted sickness absence in UK organisations, a survey has revealed.
Introduced in April 2010, the fit note scheme was supposed to reduce absence levels by letting GPs tell employers which aspects of their jobs employees who would otherwise be off on sick leave can still perform.
However, in a survey conducted by XpertHR, employers expressed little confidence in the fit note system and over 50% of those surveyed said that the scheme had not been effective in reducing the unwarranted sickness absence rate in their organisation.
The most effective way to reduce unwarranted sickness absence in your organisation is to use a leave management system such as LeaveMaster in conjunction with the Bradford Factor.
