My DP has had problems with his knees for absolutely years and operations on them about every 3 years.
He is in complete pain, but cannot take pain killers due to the work he does, so if he wants to take pain killers, he has to have some time off work. He has refused an offer from the Consultant to be signed off until operation on New Year's Eve, as he doesn't want to start the Managing for Attendance monitoring procedure.
There is a huge push to get absenteeism down, and it's 3 episodes of being off sick in 6 months and one gets referred to Occupational Health.
DP has seen Occupational Health and the doctor queried why he was there as DP is on waiting list to see Consultant.
He now has seen Consultant, but work are asking for 'evidence' of him having operation, but it was all verbal with the Consultant and was told he wouldn't be getting anything in writing.
Further, all of his absent periods have been for the same reason...
While I understand the reasons for Monitoring for Attendance, he is getting fairly stressed about it all and is hobbling to work...
Any ideas would be very welcome!
