I have a colleague who's been off sick with her mental health for several months. As employers they have really tried to support her, offered adjusted duties, adjusted hours, paid for counselling but she has been unable to work. Her paid sick pay allowance is just coming to an end.

She's a keyworker so the news today that she is now fit for work is excellent, except that a pre existing condition (not related to the absence) means she needs to self isolate for 12 weeks.

Maybe I'm a terrible cynic, but there can't be many people whose mental health has been improved by the current situation.

I know someone like this!

You are a terrible cynic yes

So today she said I'm fit to work but unfortunately I can't because I'm vulnerable. Is it to make herself feel less guilty about not working?

It could be ilovecake but the result is that she's now back on full pay and still off, so I'm not sure how that helps her conscience.

I suppose that way if anyone ask it'll be I'd love to work during the crisis but I can't because I'm vulnerable then she's not judged and she gets full pay plus conscience clear .
I don't know your colleague so only going off what your saying so she could be genuine or not .

A CV CF who is trying to offload her DC for others ( me ) to care for in my house as she and her DH cannot WFH with the DC in the house. Was shocked when I declined and pointed out that it would not comply with the staying at home government ruling. I am neither a childminder or childcare facilitator
