Additional Occupational health assessment (1st track and 2)

Has your employee's taxability changed significantly since the earlier Occupational health assessment ? Or has the UWV issued an expert opinion requiring reconsideration? Then an supplementary Occupational health assessment solution.

Based on the most recent workload profile, the Occupational Assessor reassesses the possibilities for suitable work within your organization1st track) or outside it2nd track). This gives you clear insight into the current situation and tailored advice.

When and why is additional research used?

An additional examination is initiated when:

  • The employee's workload capacity changed significantly.
  • The UWV has issued an expert opinion that requires reconsideration.
  • There is a need for an update on the earlier advice on return to suitable work.

During the examination, the new workload is re-evaluated against the workload. Previous conclusions are critically reviewed to ensure current and reliable advice. The Occupational Assessor again answers questions such as:

  • Is return to own work possible?
  • Can the employee's work be modified?
  • Can the employee reintegrate into other work with their own employer?
  • Are there opportunities to guide the employee to suitable work with another employer?

This analysis results in a supplemental report with revised opinions and conclusions.

If Puls has conducted the earlier research:

Then we first go through the full employment research process:

  • 1
    Phone or online conversation with both the employer and employee
  • 2
    This conversation and findings from previous occupational assessments will be incorporated into a draft report.
  • 3
    Draft report is submitted to the employer and employee for comment, and any comments are incorporated.
  • 4
    A final report is drawn up and shared with the employer and employee.

The final report forms the basis for the further reintegration process.

If Puls has not conducted the earlier research:

  • Interview with employer including workplace visit (approx. 60 minutes)
  • Interview with the employee (about 60 minutes)

Optional joint interview
This is followed by the regular course of an additional examination:

What does a supplemental Occupational health assessment 1st track and 2) provide?

The supplementary Occupational health assessment provides clarity about the reintegration possibilities of a long-term sick employee, both within the current organization1st track) and outside it2nd track). The investigation provides substantiated insights into what the employee can still do, what adjustments may be needed and whether suitable work is available. It also helps employers to act timely and carefully in line with the Wet verbetering Poortwachter. This prevents unnecessary delays in the reintegration process and reduces the risk of wage sanctions by the UWV.
