English term or phrase: fitness for duty

"***Fitness for Duty*** and Return to Work"
Es geht um Gesundheitsdienste eines großen Unternehmens für seine Mitarbeiter, hier um Wiedereingliederung nach langer Krankheit oder nach Unfall.
Ist das "Diensttauglichkeit", "Arbeitsfähigkeit" oder lässt man das gar unübersetzt?

Arbeitsfähigkeit

Explanation:
Würde ich hier sagen. LEO (auch wenn nicht immer vertrauenswürdig) übersetzt Arbeitsfähigkeit mit "fitness for work". Deshalb sollte es auch hier passen.

fit/tauglich für die Aufgabe

Explanation:
persönlich würde ich es nicht übersetzen. Es geht bei diesem Programm nicht um Arbeitsfähigkeit/-tauglichkeit, sondern vielmehr, ob der Angestellte seinen Aufgaben gewachsen ist, was psychologisch untersucht wird. Hier ist eine Definition von Fitness for Duty:

A department head may request a medical evaluation when (1) an employee's conduct creates a reasonable belief that a threat to the health or safety of the employee or others, or to University property, exists; or (2) there is objective evidence that the employee cannot perform the essential job functions. The purpose of the evaluation is to find out if the employee can perform his or her job in a safe manner. The employee's department pays the cost. In order to ensure safety while the employee is being evaluated, the employee may, if appropriate, be placed on investigatory leave for the time needed to conduct the evaluation.

If you think a medical examination is necessary, contact your Employee Relations Consultant for approval.
