Midlands TUC Half-Day Briefing

Preparing for the new Fit Note

From 6th April there will be a number of important changes to the sick note, or medical statement, that employees get from their GP to certify sickness absence.

There are issues for doctors, workers, employers and trade unions. It is important that the implications are understood and that union reps and officers have prepared for the casework that may well follow.

This briefing will introduce new TUC guidance for union reps and provide an overview of the new requirements and how they will impact on working people.

The event will be held on:

26 March 2010, 10am - 1pm

Unison Regional Centre

24 Livery Street

Birmingham B3 2PA

(Lunch will be provided)

Please email Surjit Chohan at schohan@tuc.org.uk or call 0121 262 6384 to book a place. Please state if you have any dietary of access requirements.
