Not sure if this is the right area sorry if not
but I was signed off for two weeks with PGP and I’m due back in a few days (im now 19weeks) and had a GP appointment who has given me an amended duties office based work recommendation. (This is based in the UK)
my job is a role within the care sector and is mainly office based with some meds duties but at times expected to cover carers when they are short staffed.
I expressed when I sent this to my boss that I was also excited to get back to work however the reply was unfortunately they can’t accommodate this but can see if a sister home can and has also forward this on to HR.
I’ve expressed in my reply that I do feel my role is more office based and i would just be not available to cover the floor when they’re short staffed or do the longer of the three medication rounds.
I haven’t heard back yet
just need to know where I stand in regards to this?
I have looked online and can see they have to pay my full wage until they can accommodate this?
Also sounds like if I’d go back I’d not be allowed to continue my normal job position.
Just looking for ANY advice really as I’m majorly stressing now about finances as I can’t afford to have no income between now and baby being here, and I am stressed that it’s all going to effect my maternity pay when I do go on maternity leave and also my job I’ve worked so hard for!
