I am a little puzzled about why the noble Lord, Lord Cotter, is moving this specifically related to the middle of a grievance or disciplinary procedure. Any employee who becomes incapacitated when there is a reasonable suggestion that the incapacity might be related to the working environment requires investigation by the employer. I am not quite sure why we need a specific clause saying that if that happens during a grievance or disciplinary procedure, the employer should investigate. The onus is surely on the employer to investigate any time there is incapacity related to the environment.
