Document background
The Return To Work Clearance Letter is a critical document in Indonesian employment practice, required when employees resume work after a significant absence due to health issues, injury, or medical conditions. This document is mandated under Indonesian labor laws, particularly Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower and various health and safety regulations. It serves multiple purposes: providing official medical clearance, documenting any necessary workplace accommodations, protecting employer liability, and ensuring employee well-being. The letter typically includes medical professional certification, specific return date, any work modifications required, and relevant health and safety protocols. It's particularly important in industries with strict safety requirements or where employees perform physical or high-risk tasks.
