Human Resources / Description of circumstances for early pension candidate
Danish term or phrase: Skånehensyn
This is part of a 'visitation' (assessment) about a potential candidate for early pension in Denmark.

"Der henvises til oprindelig henvisning til jobkonsulenterne, hvor skånehensyn fremgår. Desuden henvises der til redegørelser fra jobkonsulent, som klart beskriver arbejdsopgaver, skånebehov og funktionsressourcer.

...sygemeldt pga. slidgigt i hænder, nedsat bevægelighed i venstre albue, smerter i albue og muskler generelt.

Formålet er en tilbagevenden til det ordinære arbejdsmarked, 37 timer pr. uge i ikke arm-belastende erhverv.

Skånehensyn/begrænsninger
Kan ikke klare arbejde i kulde og træk og kan ikke klare tunge løft."

Etc. etc.

Does anyone know the equivalent in English or does it need to be rephrased?

This is a very lengthy report of 40 pages, so it is important to get this term right :)

Thanks!

Disability: It is the employer’s duty to adapt the workplace to suit the needs of employees with a disability. This means that an employer must objectively and loyally make an assessment of which workplace adjustments are necessary for a disabled employee to hold the job in question. If the cost of such adjustments is disproportionate, the employer may refuse to employ the applicant. This does not apply to cases where the state pays the costs.

Schemes found in the Danish Compensation for Disabled People in Employment etc. Act

In 1994, special handicap consultants were included in the staff appointed by the employment service. Their job is to help disabled employees familiarise themselves with the opportunities available for assistance towards their becoming employed or remaining in a job. The consultants’ job is also to administer the code of practice concerning the Danish Compensation for Disabled People in Employment etc. Act.

”The Icebreaker Scheme”

The Icebreaker Scheme is a kind of in-service training scheme. The aim of the scheme is for newly qualified people with disabilities to gain work experience, making it easier for them to get a job later on. The Icebreaker Scheme was implemented because many disabled people did not have as easy access to work experience relevant to their studies as other students had. Through this scheme a disabled person is engaged by a firm on ordinary terms of employment. The employer can then for a period of 6-9 months receive a wage subsidy of 50% of the employee’s pay, however, a maximum of DKK 11,000 per month.

Early retirement pension

Persons who cannot support themselves due to long-term impairment of their capacity for work are entitled to a maintenance benefit from the Danish State in the form of early retirement pension. It is a condition for obtaining early retirement pension that a person’s capacity for work cannot be improved by training, rehabilitation or treatment. The basic principle is that everybody should be able to lead an independent, active life with an attachment to the job market.

In a pension context, capacity for work is defined as the ability to meet the requirements made in the job market with respect to performing different kinds of clearly defined tasks. It is thus a matter of evaluating the skills of the individual person compared with the requirements made in the present job market.

It is the local authority that assesses whether a person is entitled to early retirement pension. This assessment is made on the basis of all relevant information about the person’s health, education, etc. If a person’s capacity for work is reduced by at least 2/3, the local authority will grant early retirement pension. The pension is equal to the highest level of unemployment benefit (see page 21) if the pensioner is single, and 85% of the daily benefit level if the pensioner is married or has a partner.

If the local authority refuses an application for early retirement pension, it has to provide documentation that the applicant can perform specified work functions, possibly after having been trained, rehabilitated or after some other initiative has been taken. The work functions stated by that local authority must exist to a reasonable extent in the job market.

These rules for the granting of early retirement pension were adopted under a reform of early retirement pensions in 2001. The reform takes effect as from 2003 and onwards. According to the old rules, the amount of the early retirement pension varied according to the pensioner’s remaining capacity for work.

I searched for the labour law but found not so much in English. What is clear that

These rules for the granting of early retirement pension were adopted under a reform of early retirement pensions in 2001. The reform takes effect as from 2003 and onwards. According to the old rules, the amount of the early retirement pension varied according to

Sheltered employment

If a person’s capacity for work is so impaired that he or she cannot be employed in a job without a wage subsidy or in a job with flexible work arrangements or a sheltered job (see page 28) with a wage subsidy, the person in question can be employed in sheltered employment, for example at a sheltered workshop.

So my final suggestion is sheltered job

Spare considerations


Explanation:
This is about sparing the subject for certain types of work. "Skånehensyn" in the sense "Han må skånes for visse typer arbeid".
An alternative may be "Protective measures"
