Background:
In a job employed by County Council, currently on sick leave (in my 3rd weeks leave but one week was hsalf term which only would have been a day's 'work')
Am 5 months pregnant and have suddenly found myself single and having to move out of my home with DC. Very upset and struggling at this moment in time.
I work with vulnerable families and normally cope pefectly with this.
I'm due an assessment by Occupational Health in a week.
I need to go back to work as I don't want to lose my job, but I need longer to sort myself out. If I went back now then I'd cope with work, but it would probably set me back emotionally in my personal life as the stress is probably too much right now. I have a lot of practical sorting out to do as well at home with VERY little help or support.
The question is, how much more time can I realistically take before totally jeopardising my employment?
I am not regularly off with depression - this is situational but is quite severe.
Any thoughts on possibilities/legalities?
