The Return To Work Medical Certificate is a mandatory document under Nigerian employment law, specifically required by the Labour Act and supported by the Employees Compensation Act 2010. This certificate must be issued by a qualified medical practitioner registered under the Medical and Dental Practitioners Act, following a thorough assessment of an employee's fitness to resume work duties after a significant medical absence. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides legal protection for both employer and employee, ensures workplace safety compliance, and establishes clear parameters for the employee's return to work. It is particularly crucial in cases involving workplace injuries, extended illnesses, or conditions requiring workplace modifications. The certificate must include specific medical clearance details, any necessary work restrictions or modifications, and may incorporate a phased return plan where appropriate.
