You should refer an employee WHOSE absence is due to WORK related stress to the Occupational Health Service via MyView for further advice. Where possible DISCUSS the cause of the stress with the employee/Occupational Health Service and establish if there are any immediate or longer term actions you can TAKE to alleviate the stress.

Where the stress is related to personal circumstances, such as bereavement or RELATIONSHIP breakdown, a referral to Occupational Health may still be made but this is not essential if the employee is receiving support through their own GP.
