Even for an office/desk job? I have never heard of this. It sounds like a major breach of privacy. So each employee submits to a medical exam every year and the company HR gets to see it?
Do you mind sending me a link to this process please?
Every type of job. But you keep your privacity. If it is your wish, your job cannot be informed of any medical record of its employees.
That's how it works: the doctor establishes a document that determines if you are fit to work, or not after examining you. In my case, I saw the doctor a few weeks ago and determined that I was temporarily unfit to work. He determined that I had to work from home for a few weeks. So the job is obliged to accept the conditions set by the doctor. If the doctor had determined that I am permanently unfit, my job would have had the obligation to adapt my job, or to find me new functions that I am capable of performing given my disability.
When the doctor examined me, I gave him the report that my surgeon had written. In it the surgeon had indicated that he had performed an operation to correct the femur. Without more great detail. As a doctor, he did not attempt to establish whether this was true or not. The doctor simply saw that I was not able to walk without crutches and chose what was the best situation for me. In my case, working from home until I can walk again without crutches. The doctor did not ask me X-ray or any medical exam. Of course, my company only knows my version. I told them I had an accident. It's a medical secret.
Actually, if you think about it, this is done to protect the worker.
Here you have some information for france. But it is more or less the same for each country of europe.
