The Labour Court recommended that a worker accept Marks and Spencer’s proposal to appoint an independent medical consultant to assess her fitness to return to her section manager role. The recommendation was signed on 19 November 2019. The worker said she was fit to return and that Marks and Spencer was hampering her return. The company said she remained an employee on sick leave while it sought medical clarity about her fitness for the role. The Court also recommended that any grievance be raised through the company’s internal procedure, and that the worker and employer meet after the medical report was received.
