Document background
The Return To Work Interview Form is a crucial document used in Irish workplace settings to manage and document an employee's return to work following any significant absence. This form is essential for compliance with Irish employment legislation, including health and safety regulations, equality laws, and data protection requirements. It should be completed during a face-to-face meeting between the returning employee and their manager, typically on the first day back at work or as soon as practicable thereafter. The document captures vital information about the absence, assesses the employee's readiness to return, documents any necessary workplace adjustments, and outlines support measures or action plans. It serves as an official record of the return to work process and helps organizations demonstrate their duty of care while protecting both employer and employee interests.
