A free form for the short conversation when someone comes back after being off sick: when they were off, who held it, what you agreed, and any health notes kept apart.
On someone’s first day or two back after sickness. Keep it short and supportive: it is to welcome them back and agree anything that would help, not to question whether they were ill.
The law does not require a return-to-work conversation. Good practice: hold one each time, for everyone, which is how you spot patterns fairly and agree adjustments early.
Words in [brackets] are yours to fill in.
For example: no lifting for four weeks. Health detail: only people who can see health details see it.
Already use KivoHR? Sign in, go to Absence, open the sickness, and choose Return to work.
