Hi Jennings’s
I was lucky I worked for a company that looked after me…..first sct I was off work for a year, when I said I wanted to return they said they have sorted a new job out for me, it was to check lorries in at the gate, was told I didn’t have to leave the building at the side of the gate as drivers were being told to come see me, (it’s a job the top people created for me) I said I didn’t want it I wanted to go back to my original job to see if I could do it ? He told me that I had lost money with being on sick and he wanted to put it back so he would prefer I took that job…I did stayed doing that for five years until I needed my second SCT ….I handed in a six months sick note to my boss plus a note asking for voluntary redundancy….he said he would put it to the top boss, turned out they said yes but would need to sign a form saying I wouldn’t go back and sue them….I did that but they didn’t give me the redundancy until my sick pay had run out plus I got the redundancy with a Christmas bonus of £250 have to admit I was well looked after, they also said if I was ever feeling like looking for a job one will be found with them…..hats off I was well looked after…..good luck to you (sorry for long post) onwards and upwards xx
