4.8 Can my employer see my medical file?

As a general rule, your employer can only see your file if you say it is okay.

This may happen if you are sick for a long time and your employer needs medical proof of your condition. Also, your employer will sometimes ask you to take a medical exam to see if you can physically do the job. Your employer will then see the medical report.
