After confiding in my supervisor that I was depressed, seeing a psychiatrist and started taking anti-depressants – I got called into Human Resource office and told I have to take a Fit for Duty Assessment by a clinical psychologist – this will be from 8am – 2pm for 2 days. Is this legal ? It surely feels like discrimination. Is the company just covering their a** because they want to show that they are not responsible for my depression ?
