DOBbie · sick leave assistant from an occupational physician

No HR department. But an employee who is off sick.

And you want to get it right. DOBbie tells you what you are allowed to ask, what Dutch law expects from you and when to bring in the occupational physician. You get an answer the moment you are unsure, even at ten o’clock at night.

My mechanic has called in sick for the third time this year. Can I ask what is going on?
You don’t ask about the illness itself, that is for the occupational physician. You can ask what he is still able to do, how long he expects to be away and how to reach him. After three absences in one year, a conversation about the pattern is wise. Shall I help you prepare that conversation?
Yes please. How do I start without it sounding like a reproach?
Example conversation. You never use names.
No medical adviceDOBbie talks to you, never to your employee
No namesYou describe the situation, not the person
From an occupational physicianBuilt on ten years of practice
14-day cooling-off periodNot satisfied, money back

It is Monday morning, 7.40, and a message comes in.

“Not coming in today. My back.” You have twelve employees and no HR adviser. So there you are, phone in one hand and coffee in the other. Your head is full of questions nobody ever explained to you.

  • Can I ask what is wrong with him?
  • Who do I need to involve, and when?
  • And what if this goes on for weeks?

You don’t call the occupational physician for every doubt. That takes an hour, and you have to wait for an appointment. So you wait. And it is exactly that waiting that often turns a short absence into a long one.

One year of DOBbie costs less than two hours with an occupational physician.

How it works

You ask a question and know your next step.

1

You type your question

Tell it the way you would tell a colleague, without names or medical details.

2

DOBbie thinks along

Based on the Dutch Gatekeeper Improvement Act (Wet verbetering poortwachter) and the guidelines occupational physicians work with.

3

You know what to do

What to say, what to record and when to call the occupational physician. You decide.

To be fair

DOBbie does not replace your occupational physician.

As an employer in the Netherlands, you are required to have an occupational physician. DOBbie helps you in between appointments. You act faster, you say the right things, and when you do call the occupational physician, you have the right question.

No occupational physician yet? See what working with me costs. That page is in Dutch. With a basic contract with me, DOBbie costs € 199 per year.

Who is behind it

Talar Lazarian, occupational physician

I have ten years of experience in occupational medicine. In my consultations I see it again and again: a business owner who wants to do the right thing but doesn’t know what he is allowed to say. So he says nothing. By the time I see the employee, weeks have gone by.

Long-term absence starts in week one. That is where you, as an employer, make the difference. I built DOBbie so you don’t have to face that first week alone.

Frequently asked questions

What business owners often ask.

Is this the same as ChatGPT?

No. A general chatbot gives you whatever is on the internet. DOBbie reasons from the Dutch Gatekeeper Improvement Act and the guidelines of occupational physicians. And it knows when to say: this belongs with your occupational physician.

Is it GDPR compliant?

Yes. You describe the situation without names or traceable details. A good answer doesn’t need them. DOBbie keeps nothing between two conversations.

Does DOBbie give medical advice?

No. DOBbie talks to you as the employer and never to your employee. Medical questions belong with the occupational physician, and DOBbie will tell you so.

Who is responsible for what I do?

You are. DOBbie thinks along but does not decide. The answers are well founded, but they don’t guarantee the outcome.

I only have five employees. Is it worth it?

That is exactly when it is worth it. The smaller your company, the harder one long absence hits. And the fewer people you have around you to talk it through with.

Can I try it first?

Yes. Start with one month for € 49. Or take the year and get your money back within 14 days if it isn’t for you.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

The next sick call will come. The question is whether you will know what to do then.
