Hi I have had my operation to remove Lowe left lobe to remove the cancer. As my work involves pay (payroll) then it is very confidential, whilst I work for a large company the job I do is a stand alone position so I have no cover. 2 weeks after my op I got a call from the agency stand in to ask q’s, I did not feel he was doing the job as well as he should so I agreed to do phased RTW, as long as the agency stand in stayed. The stand in left under gross misconduct, so I was left to do it all which meant I was doing full time, although this was all WFH. I have now gone sick again, as the pains and the emotions are at a high. I have shed for a further sick note as the meds I am on for the pain make me woozy, and do not believe I could not do my job on them. The problem I have is the cut off period is looming and I know they are depending on me returning but I do not feel well enough, My manager is going to ring me, he pretends it is to see how I am but then he goes on to work. Is he allowed to ask me about work while I am off sick? Also as my absences have been diff periods I will of hit the 3 times off which warrants a disciplinary, would this count, or would the disability act cover it? I was already classed as disabled anyhow through to COPD, which my company are aware I have
Any advice would be grateful Thank you
Suzie
