My friend is off sick from work, going into her second week. The company arranged for her to meet with the company nurse on site after a week. She said it is practice for them to have weekly meetings while an employee is off sick and if it is a long term thing they are referred to the company doctor.
Can the company 'force' someone who is certified as unfit for work to travel one hour each way to work to have an interview with a nurse? I understand that they refer to the doctor after a period of time but don't understand the reason for the weekly nurse visits. Would she breaking any rules and land herself into trouble by not attending?
