What are the rights of someone who has to work for his boss?

Questioner

My son has a cast on his arm, still has pain. Employer says he has to come to work, he lives in Place A, has to go to Place B, can't drive car with one hand. And he is a furniture maker which is not possible with 1 hand. Employer indicates to do computer work with 1 hand (that is not his thing with computers) if my son does not go, is this considered absent from work?

Lawyer

It is not the employer who determines whether someone is able to work, but a company doctor. What your son can indicate in any case is whether he can see the company doctor. It may be the case that he can do temporary work during his incapacity for work on the advice of the company doctor. It may be good to discuss this situation further without obligation and to offer support where possible. You can contact via boksjuristen.nl.
