I work for a worldwide company and have done for 3.5 years. 18 months ago I was diagnosed with Rhuematiod arthritis in both wrists, and more recently osteoarthritis in my lower back.
My doctor has been signing me of since Oct 2016 whilst new medications are being tried. I am now on HUMIRA injections
So I have exhausted my SSP pay and am now on ESA and PIP.
Back in December my doctor advised returning to work on part time hours for three months. When I advised HR her exact response was " we dictate your hours to you, you do not dictate them to us " it was dismissed .
Other things have been when my supervisor found out that a colleague was helping me with heavy lifting (files etc). She stopped it and said that I was taking up to much of her time. It was 20 mins at the end of the day and I would help her with statement reconciliations etc, so it was a two way thing. I must add that it is a very toxic atmosphere and it did make me I'll at one stage losing over a stone in weight through stress.
I have had two meetings with occupational health and both times they agreed that part time hours would help and to change my mouse etc, again it hasn't happened.
Last part sorry
I want to leave my company
a) the lack of support and I don't want to go back
b) I have been in contact with Shaw Trust and they can help me re-train into another job completely where I will be using my hands a lot less.
HR want me to go for a welfare meeting but there is no point as I don't want to go back anyway.
My question is can I ask them to terminate my contract by mutual consent and for the fact that I do not want to go back can they force me into a welfare meeting.
I have already told HR that I cannot do a full time desk job, there is no other role for me.
I just want to leave and move on now
Many thanks
