Hi all, my ex husband has stage 4 prostate cancer, diagnosed nov 21. Last week he was hospitalised with a chest infection whilst holidaying in Devon, then again when we returned home, this time being diagnosed with flu. I requested emergency carers leave stating that I could work froM home for the rest of the week, long and short of it I could work at home on Wednesday but had to take unpaid leave for the other 3 days!!! Anyone have experience on fighting the workplace?? Ironically I work for the NHS
Hi Misses O welcome to the forum. Unless things have changed in the NHS since I last worked in it what has happened for you is wrong and you need to challenge this with your Manager and HR Department. It may also be worth you giving the Macmillan Line a call in the event you need more time off to check what rights you have in the workplace. They have Work Advisors for you to speak with and are contactable on the Macmillan Line on 08088080000.
