Incapacity for work can have a significant impact on both the employee and the employer.
Both the employer and the employee have certain obligations as part of the reintegration process. Failing to comply can cost the employer dearly. If a sick employee doesn’t fulfil their obligations, the employer can suspend or stop salary payments. But it isn't always easy to determine whether and which sanctions should be applied.
Privacy also plays an important role in incapacity for work issues. For instance, the employer can't ask what exactly is wrong with the employee. But the employer can ask what work the employee can still do and/or when the employee expects to be able to return to work.
