Injuries at work
OK know its not motorcycle related but I just wondered if any of you could offer advice........
Friend injured her back using faulty equipment at work nearly 6 months ago now, since then she has been off sick and has been signed off by her GP. She's sent the sick notes in to work but they keep pestering her to go in and see the nurse at work on the basis that they can find her some light work to do. My question/s is/are:
Can they demand that she goes in to see this nurse while still signed off as unfit by her GP ?.
Would she be covered by her companies insurance if working while signed off due to injury ?
My guess is that the answer to both questions is no but if anyone has encountered a similar situation their feedback would be much appreciated.
