Need a little bit of advice, not sure where we stand!
DP started his job 20 months ago. He has recently handed in his notice and is starting a new job on the 14th.
During his time at this job he has had huge issues with MH. He is on a high dosage antidepressant, and has improved however suffers anxiety attacks at work frequently. His manager knows, and has never been very sympathetic or understanding. In the 20 months he had never taken a sick day, minus 1 when he had to take me to A&E when I broke my ankle.
He wasn't granted paternity because he was there for 10 months and needed to be for 12 - he used his holiday.
Last week, he had 2 days off due to bacterial tonsillitis and his manager was really cross. It turned into a discussion in which another manager has squared up to DP and made a spiteful remark.
DP said he was leaving, handed in uniform and came home.
They have phoned today, apologised and said they 'didn't realise the extent of his MH problems as manager 1 hadn't told manager 2 and they would like him back'
He is due to leave on the 13th anyway, but he will not get the rest of the pay he deserves unless he goes in but he's anxious/embarrassed/upset about having to go back.
What are our options?
Sorry if this doesn't make any sense. I'm a bit confused myself but happy to answer questions.
