Hi
I have an employee currently on workers compensation claim. The employee has no intention to come back to our workplace and the doctor recommends to find an alternative work place. I would like to get the employee off my books and have workcover take over the direct payments, since the employee is simply not coming back to our workplace.
I am told by workcover that the employee has a say whether they want the employee to continue to pay them directly. Can I terminate the employee?
Or if anyone can recommend a lawyer that can help in this regard.
Thanks
