If someone is claiming a medical condition that they don't have , only so many options such as back , psych etc
A GP has to refer to specialists after shortish period & that gets harder to bung it on
Not sure what rights a company has to not accept medical certificates and require reviews by other Specialists/GPs for sick leave,
they certainly can for workers comp, - get medical reviews ,use surveillance etc . Would be surprising if they just have to blindly accept certificates
from interesting Docs for long term sick leave, sounds like QF wasn't too fussed ,do other groups of employees do similar ?
Would be great to see you guys get back in the air, but unfortunately our State & Territory leaders are living out some kind of fantasy , just loving that border control
Think your CEO is warming you up for more redundancies & likely amending T&Cs talking about hard decisions & the cost advantage of new Virgin, long term stand down
comes with substantial costs. After a couple of years on stand down you have almost paid the costs of a CR for the 500 or so joiners from 2016
