Where would I stand if I had to leave my job after returning to work following a period of 8 months long term sickness.
I have began having serious headaches which have been diagnosed as Migraines probably brought on by stress.
My GP has a record of me visiting in December 2009 suffering from quite high anxiety. I was admitted to hospital for headaches at the beginning of the year which was the beginning of my sickness.
In October I was targeted by my manager and bullied. I reported this to HR and they dealt with the matter informally. He then proceeded to isolate me at work and made me feel very uncomfortable and unhappy in my role.
Another employee then made a report in December and this was investigated and they said they wanted to go down the route of a formal complaint. The manager was sent to work off site while they investigated and it resulted in him leaving the company.
My condition is not under control as of yet and I am trying various medications to help do this. I was contacted by work and asked to come in and have a chat and meet the new manager. I did this and have felt under pressure to return to work before I am fully fit.
I am now back at work and my medication will have side effects making it impossible to travel to and from work. I am one stage away from the final sickness staging if that makes sense.
It has been mentioned and hinted at on more than one occasion that I may have to leave or they will have to do what they have to do if I find I can't cope being back at work.
Where do I stand legally and does anyone have advice?
Thank you
