Phased return to work?

[bookworm100]

Does anyone have any idea what good practice for a phased return looks like?

I have been off work with bipolar following a suicide attempt.

Really grateful for any advice as my employer wants to be led by me but I don't know what I should be asking for.

I think it depends what the triggers are for you. I've generally built up a day per week (so started on one day, next week was two) but with the ability to pause things when needed - I stayed on 4 days for a few weeks because I had therapy on the other day and it wiped me out. I've also had times when my working hours have varied so I didn't have to commute during rush hour.

I hope you're feeling better
