Document background
The Return To Work Letter From Doctor is a vital document in the Indonesian workplace health and safety framework, required when employees need to return to work following illness, injury, or medical procedures. This document is mandated under various Indonesian regulations, including Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower and Law No. 36 of 2009 on Health, and serves multiple purposes: it provides medical clearance for work resumption, documents any necessary workplace accommodations, protects employers from liability, and ensures employee safety. The letter must be issued by a qualified medical professional and typically includes specific details about work capacity, any restrictions or modifications needed, and the duration of such modifications. It's particularly crucial in industries with high physical demands or safety requirements, and forms part of the broader occupational health and safety documentation system in Indonesia.
