My DD is 19. She has worked part time for McDonalds for over 2 years. She has been at 6th form and is now at university but does shifts whenever she comes home for holidays.
She has a torn rotator cuff in her shoulder at the moment and movement is limited as well as preventing her doing things like mopping floors, cleaning/scrubbing as it's very painful. She is waiting to see a shoulder specialist and physio.
She was in work two days ago and put onto drive through so she was taking orders and money. No issues. She has told work that she has this injury and that's why they sheduled her for that. However they requested she get a note from the doctor stating she has limited capability for work.
The doctors charged her £17.50 as she has not been off sick but she has the sick note and took it in today when she started her shift at 2pm. They put her onto lobby on her own which means clearing tables, mopping, emptying bins and carrying boxes. She lasted until 5pm until she was in so much pain she rang me in tears. She spoke to the manager who said 'what do you want me to do about it?' She suggested they move her to a role where she is not having to physically use her shoulder such as tills/drive through or making drinks. They sent her home. I had to collect her as she is in so much pain she cannot drive.
I'm bloody fuming. She is now £17.50 out of pocket and they have said they won't schedule her for at least two weeks now. Why on earth did they request the partially fit to work note if they were going to blatantly ignore it?
She/we are going to phone head office in the morning and at least request she gets refunded the money for the sick note but also ask if that's their policy on staff with injuries.
Anything got any advice please? She has been there over two years and hasn't had any time off except just before her A levels when she needed study time. She has covered shifts at the last minute and worked all sorts of unsociable hours.
