Are you an excess carrier (ERD for short) for the Sickness Benefits Act? Then a final evaluation does not need to be in the file until the file is submitted to the UWV regarding the WIA assessment. This is around the 90th week of absence. The final evaluation is a mandatory part of this so-called reintegration report, also called RIV.
Importance of a Final Evaluation
However, an employee can leave sick at any time during the 2 years of absence.
Nevertheless, at the end of employment it can be of added value to make an interim final evaluation together with the employee. The final evaluation describes the state of affairs, important matters about the course of the reintegration, a kind of review of the past period. You as an employer can also use the final evaluation to discuss with the employee what to expect when he or she leaves sick. When assessing the RIV documentation, the UWV may also have questions about the reintegration activities during employment. This can also be valuable information for the party taking over the self-risk bearer Sickness Benefits Guidance to include in the follow-up guidance.
