What Is a Doctor Release Form?

Unfortunately, every single one of us can become ill from time to time which may lead to taking an extended leave from your workplace. Your absence may not even be related to an illness. These absences also cover maternity leave and caring for a loved one. In all of these instances, an employer is within their right to request a Doctor Release Form .

• Return to Work Doctor's Note.

This is mainly done so that the employer knows the specific date on which you plan on returning to work and will serve as a reminder to management as to why you required time off in the first place. It is also done so that your employer can plan your working responsibilities and tasks accordingly, making any necessary updates if these are required. After all, many things could have changed at your workplace during your extended time off, depending on how long you were absent. It is important for the employer to make all the relevant adjustments for your return to ensure everything runs smoothly.
