| description | Today about one million French employees are unfit for work. Every year, a hundred thousand of these are deemed totally unfit for work and eventually dismissed. Although they have a legal obligation to do so few companies actually redeploy them to another post compatible with their state of health. Recognition of unfitness for work is a system for protecting workers’ health, but it ultimately leads to the oldest or most infirm being excluded (sometimes due to the nature of the work they do). Tracking twenty employees deemed unfit for work, the survey seeks to explain the process which consigns some of them to unemployment and exclusion. Dismissal on the grounds of incapacity is always the culmination of a long and complicated process which starts with a health problem, and is then followed by long and frequent periods of sick leave, which can result in isolation and conflict, and also by attempts to return to work with variable degrees of success. The provisions and restrictions seem to be respected to different extents in different workplaces. All this culminates in the dismissal of sick or injured employees and leads to a stressful situation of unemployment and job-seeking. |
