Identification
Employee name, job title, department, employee ID, contact information, and immediate supervisor to link the record to the correct personnel file without revealing unrelated medical details.
A clear Employee Fitness Questionnaire helps document fitness-for-duty determinations, reduce workplace risk, and support consistent accommodation decisions while protecting employee privacy under applicable law.
The Employee Fitness Questionnaire is completed by employees and reviewed by HR, occupational health, or designated supervisors depending on policy.
Storing reviewer decisions separately from underlying medical details helps meet privacy requirements and limits access to those with a legitimate need to know.
Employee name, job title, department, employee ID, contact information, and immediate supervisor to link the record to the correct personnel file without revealing unrelated medical details.
Clear description of essential job functions and physical demands (lifting, standing, climbing) so clinicians can assess fitness relative to actual work requirements.
Targeted questions about recent injuries, surgeries, chronic conditions, and medications that could affect work performance; avoid open-ended requests for unrelated medical history.
Specific items about pain, range of motion, endurance, and cognitive issues—use closed-response options where possible to standardize review and reduce interpretation variance.
Space for clinician comments, recommended restrictions or accommodations, and a fitness-for-duty statement or return-to-work clearance with date and provider credentials.
Employee acknowledgment of accuracy and HIPAA-compliant authorization for necessary health information release to designated reviewers; include date and signature block.
