I know every workplace and job will be different but I'm getting myself very worried and would like some advice if anyone knows?
My husband had a breakdown last year and had 6 months off work. He has been on a phased return for another 6 months doing reduced workload and 100% working from home . So currently not been able to work properly for a year.
He is in senior management and has a team of 5 people who report to him.
At this moment in time he is worse then he was originally due to a number of reasons and he feels he needs more time off. He has been trying to work as best has he can , currently doing about 10% of what his original high paying job was. But its causing him huge stress and he isn't functioning well and needs a break.
He's mentioned the time of 6 weeks to me but that's how it started before and ended up just extending it and extending it for 6 months.
Firstly will he even get paid this time? Secondly how much are they going to tolerate of this when he can't give them any guarantees that he will ever get better ?
They are paying him a high wage for doing nothing , and no-one else is doing his job whilst he's off. His team and everyone else have just managed without him and I am sure they are just used to him not being there
