My sickness record is through the roof due to my disability and work refusing to put in reasonable adjustments. I'm in the process of applying for jobs but worried I won't get anywhere because of my sickness absence.
I had one period off of 2 days where I had an operation and then day 2 was recovering from the anaesthetic. I've also had one day off due to d&v. The rest of the time has been due to my physical disability and work not making any reasonable adjustments.
The most recent time off, I was off for 2 weeks, went back for a day and ended up in so much again that my GP signed me off and said i was fit for work if they put in the reasonable adjustments I'd asked for.
I don't know exactly how long I've been off for (it all blurs into one) but it must be around 2/3 months now (yes I know there's a big difference between the two). Work aren't putting in the adjustments hence me looking for another job.
I know typically employers ask after they've offered you the job. So I'd have to actually get offered a job first before this becomes an issue but I'm trying to think ahead. Will this be an issue from a future employers perspective?
