Are occupational health services mandatory?
Yes, they are. Occupational health care provides security for your employees if their work ability is at risk. Our tips ensure that you get the most out of the money you spend on it. We provide the necessary information when you are purchasing occupational health services or want to get more out of them.
What is mandatory and what is not?
You must arrange statutory occupational health care if you have even a single employee.
The services must be the same for all employees regardless of whether they work on a full-time, fixed-term or part-time basis:
- Mandatory: preventive services that support work ability.
- Optional: general practitioner-level medical care services.
