My manager is complaining about my sickness absence record.
I had a day off sick last month, and 2.5 days this month.
In October 2012 I was off for 3 weeks following an operation.
In June 2012 I was off for 2 weeks with a bad back.
So yes, I acknowledge that I have been off sick, with unrelated illnesses.
My manager has asked me to go to my GP and ask for his opinion on the causes of my "high level of sickness absence" and then to report back to her.
I don't feel comfortable about being asked to do this, but I have been threatened with "taking this further" if I don't agree.
My company has a policy which states that 6 days or more of sickness absence in a 12 month period is enough to trigger "action" leading to possible dismissal"
Can anyone tell me where I stand legally?
