From 8 September 2015, employers in England and Wales can now refer employees to Fit for Work.

Businesses have been able to refer employees in Scotland since 29 June 2015. GPs have been referring working patients to Fit for Work nationwide since July 2015.

Fit for Work is a free occupational health scheme that offers a £500 tax exemption to businesses per employee referred on medical grounds.

Employers can refer employees to the service via the online referral form available on the website.  Employees must give their consent to be referred.
