Indicator 3.4.6

Any reasons for medical tests are clearly communicated to the employee or prospective employee, at time of recruitment where necessary.

The employee or prospective employee has the right to their test results and the UoC ensures that the results are kept confidential.

The cost of medical tests is paid by the UoC and is not a cost that is charged to the employee or prospective employee.

In some situations, the UoC may have an on-site doctor, or a doctor that there is an established relationship with, who regularly conducts the necessary medical tests. However, an employee or prospective employee is allowed to choose to consult an independent doctor, who could be their own doctor, or someone completely unrelated to the UoC.

Costs incurred by employees or prospective employees towards medical tests, if using an independent doctor, are to be reimbursed within an agreed time period.
