Question

should the employee allowed to come back to work without going to some sort of rehab? the employee tried cutting his wrist and taking a over dose.

Answer 1

Normally when that happens, you have to take counseling as part of your release agreement (at the hospital).

I would let him/her come back and mind my own business as long as they are able to work.

I would be afraid of pushing them to actually killing themselves if I let them go.

Answer 2

There are 8 week programs you could try to get him to and offer to pay for. But if you do not pay him part salary and pay for 8 week program. You might put too much undo burden on him.
