Occupational Health Referrals

Getting the right OH report starts with the right referral

Most managers receive vague, unhelpful OH reports because the referral letter was poorly drafted. HR Solved manages the entire process – from writing the referral letter to helping you act on the findings.

You pay a facilitation fee to HR Solved. The OH provider invoices you directly for the assessment.

“Employee off sick for 6 weeks – GP fit note says stress but gives no return date. I need to know if they can do their job.”
“Potential capability case but I suspect there’s a health issue underneath. If I get this wrong I’m looking at a disability discrimination claim.”
“TUPE transfer in 3 months. One employee’s attendance is a concern. I need a clean OH report before completion.”

How HR Solved Works

AI handles the process.
Daniel handles the carrying.

Peninsula charges £2,000-£8,000 per year for a telephone advisor who has never met your business. HR Solved gives you instant ACAS-compliant guidance, with 20 years of genuine ER experience available when a case gets complicated.

No generic chatbot. No call centre. No one-size-fits-all answer. The AI triage layer routes your issue correctly. Daniel provides the judgment that only comes from having been in the room when it was difficult.

Instant triage, not call-back queues
ACAS-compliant guidance on misconduct vs capability, the right process, the right letters – available now.
🧠
Scar tissue, not scripts
600 redundancies, complex TUPE transfers, heavily unionised environments. Daniel has navigated every variant.
📊
Tribunal risk indicator on every case
Every issue rated Low, Medium, High, or Critical against the ACAS Code. You know your exposure before you act.

Employee has been off sick for 8 weeks. GP fit note says stress but no return date. I need to act but don’t want to trigger a disability claim.
Before we discuss next steps – has the employee made any disclosure about the nature of their stress that might indicate an underlying condition? That determines whether the Equality Act 2010 applies from the outset.
⚠ Medium risk – further info needed
They mentioned anxiety but no formal diagnosis.
That changes the risk profile. Anxiety can qualify as a disability if it has a substantial long-term adverse effect. At 8 weeks you are approaching the threshold where an OH referral becomes necessary before any formal process. I would recommend an OH Essentials referral now – this protects you and gives you an evidence base for whatever decision you make next.

Why HR Solved

There is no substitute for having been in the room

Peninsula and Croner provide telephone advice. Their advisors are reading from the same ACAS guidance you can read yourself. What they cannot give you is the judgment that comes from having personally managed 600 redundancies across 30 sites without a single Employment Tribunal claim.

That is not a marketing line. It is a verifiable record built across two decades in some of the UK’s most complex industrial environments – heavily unionised operations where the stakes were real and the margin for process error was zero.

“AI handles the process. Daniel handles the carrying.

The AI triage, the document generation, the tribunal risk scoring – all of that runs instantly. But when a case involves a potential disability, a protected disclosure, a recognised union, or a previous ET history, Daniel is the quality layer that makes the difference between a sound decision and an expensive one.

Provider Model Annual cost
Peninsula Telephone advisor, annual retainer £2,000 – £8,000
Croner Telephone advice, slow turnaround £1,500 – £5,000
