My friend has been chronically stressed for the last 2 years due to restructuring at work whilst on maternity. This has resulted her being forced by HR from being an accountant to an admin assistant role - which specialises in companies products. She has been in the admin role for a while. I have seen her health really go down hill but she has so far still gone into work but I think she doesn't know what to do and is at breaking point and I think she is going to collapse.
Training has not been fully given and this has been another source of her stress as HR do not want to know.
I'm going to advise my friend to be signed of by her GP but not sure which is better- have stress declared on the form? If so what are the consequences in a company of that, what about future employment, does it have to be declared each time she looks for another job etc. Note: my friend feels that it is the way HR has played politics during restructure and currently for putting her in a new job and lack if help for training.
Or, do you think I should advise her to be signed off with ' fatigue/chronic fatigue' which is also true but really was caused by the stress of the above? What would be the consequences of this?
Is there even a case to put to employment tribunal?
