A senior Joburg Property Company executive who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and booked off in July 2018 is being given the run-around by an employer who seems bent on obstructing her return to work despite a medical report by her doctor declaring her fit to resume her duties. Before the nightmare cat-and-mouse game visited on her by the JPC, which manages properties owned by the City of Joburg, Puleng Kuhlmann, who holds an MBA and LLB, had seven people working under her.
Almost 10 days later, the JPC asked Kuhlmann to “please be advised that we have sent communique asking further details to your doctor and still awaiting her response”. Attorney Craig Berkowitz, acting for Kuhlmann, retorts: “The obligations and the guidelines for an employer to follow when it becomes necessary to deal with the incapacity of an employee for reasons of ill-health are very clearly set out in Schedule 8 to the Labour Relations Act, as well as case law in regard thereto.
Mokataka says on behalf of the employer: “The JPC has not prepared for her sudden return. Ms Kuhlmann and her Doctor, have not placed the JPC in a position to do so.”
