Fitness for Duty Evaluations

Fitness for Duty Evaluations are assessments used to determine whether an individual is physically and mentally capable of performing their job responsibilities safely and effectively. These evaluations often involve medical exams, psychological assessments, and interviews. They are typically conducted following an incident, a leave of absence, or when there are concerns about an employee’s performance or behavior. The goal is to ensure the person's well-being and the safety of others in the workplace, while also considering the legal and ethical implications of employment decisions.
