Hi. Looking for some advise please. I’ve been diagnosed with melanoma (early stage hopefully). I had my WLE 2 weeks ago, and employer happy for me to bring my med3 on my return. Was then signed off for 2 more weeks due to pain from WLE, submitted this cert a week ago two 2 management persons with no response until yesterday. In the space of 7 mins yesterday I had an email querying my return to work as manager said “I have you returning tomorrow is that not the case”, I then received a text asking me to ring and then a phone call and then finally another email notifying me that she was attempting to recall the 1st email.
today I received an email advising me that I am not entitled to full pay as per my contract which is fine. There was a line saying that I was having a “full day off” for a hospital appointment (the appointment is a results appointment and is over 2hr drive away so I didn’t want to commit to returning on same day) and could I provide my clinic letter for my HR file.
is this a reasonable request? I genuinely dont know, I have all the proof if it is, but the email has left me feeling both dramatic for wanting a full day off and also not believed. Also is the amount of time I have been contacted over 2 days reasonable when I am off work due to my diagnosis? Perhaps I am being over sensitive. Sorry it is so long, and thank you.
