Phased return to work

Hi Alison caroline 

Whilst it's good news that you have been able to return to work, it's not good news if it is exhausting you. When I worked, a phased return was a percentage of your hours that slowly gained each week for a period of 3 or 4 weeks until you were back to your usual hours. 

I would say that you need to speak to your manager and HR to explain that the current plan for phased return is not working and cannot be sustained due to your current health. Is it possible to just work 4 half days, for instance? I recommend that you ring the Macmillan helpline for some support and advice. They are very helpful and are very knowledgeable about workplace rights and cancer. This is the link to contact https://www.macmillan.org.uk/about-us/contact-us
