At Diablo Assessments LLC we perform “Fitness for Duty” evaluations for a variety of businesses and organizations -- some on a regular basis, and some only occasionally due to a rare event.  The following is some basic information about this type of evaluation and why it is done.
 
Workplace safety is important, especially in times of escalated violence. If an employee is showing signs of instability, or has a known mental illness and is showing an increase in stress level, a human resource professional can contact us for an appointment to have them evaluated.
 
One of our board certified psychiatrists or licensed psychologists will interview the employee, ask about any symptoms they are having, mental health history, and get an idea about their current stress level. The employer can provide specific questions for the doctor. The doctor will dictate a report responding to those referral questions and will give a professional opinion about the employee’s status and ability to return work.
 
Our doctors have many years of experience and are able to advise about level of concern. This protects your organization for legal liabilities and can help HR or management decide the next steps.
 
We prioritize these evaluations, because they often are time sensitive.  Sometimes the employee has been asked to take time off until the evaluation is completed and are motivated to get back to work.  These evaluations usually do not involve any medical record review, because it is the employee’s right to not share their medical information with their employer. Our turnaround time is 48 hours from the time they are seen. We can schedule the evaluation in an office close to the employee’s home to make access or transportation easier.
