Hi
I've posted previously about raising a grievance about my management and how they have removed all tasks and responsibilities pending a re-write of my job description. They did not rewrite the JD so effectively my job was taken off me. I am now on the redeployment register. I am also currently off sick with depression and anxiety caused by management's treatment of me. I have a written Occupation Health report that states that the depression and anxiety is caused by work.
There have been very few suitable alternative roles available, and due to sickness I have been unable to attend interviews. I did attend one suitable interview and passed the interview with flying colours but due to my being off sick I was not considered suitable for the role.
I have asked for a settlement agreement and have just received an email stating they will terminate my employment on grounds of ill health, following sickness absence procedures which will mean basically eight weeks' paid 'notice'. It would appear that I will also have to sign a settlement agreement but have no detail on what that would entail.
To complicate matters, I have an interview tomorrow for an alternative role in the same company but am still off sick, and the Appeal hearing is due to be heard on Monday. This 'settlement agreement' offer is conditional on not going ahead with the appeal hearing and will be rescinded if I consider other jobs in the organisation.
I need to leave this toxic environment as I have never done anything wrong, but I need to ensure my future is secure. I asked for 12 weeks' pay and a good reference and this is the response.
Is this good? My union rep says it should not affect my chances of getting a job in future as the ill health was caused by this particular employment. Union rep is lovely but weak - this offer was sent to her by management two days ago but I have just received it now.
What on earth should I do? Union rep is uncontactable by phone, and Citizens' Advice are fully booked until next week. The only drop-in clashes with job interview tomorrow!
Sorry for length. I should be so grateful if anyone has any advice.
Thanks in advance
