Stage 3 Warning Coming Up

[bigcol]

But a GP cannot determine you are covered under the DDA can they, or can they?

Only a Tribunal and upwards can.

It is best, of course, if both sides can agree that you are and take appropriate action before it comes to that.

they will find it much more difficult to dismiss you

Is that really whats at stake here? wouldn't RM offer Ill heath retirement? Not making any judgements on the OPer as I don't know.

Possibly but IHR is really just compensatory dismissal isn't it?.....and she doesn't want to go.

She appears to be a HE brother

Stage 1: 4 absences or 14 days in a 12 month period

Stage 2: 2 absences or 10 days in any 6 month period during the next 12 months

Stage 3: 2 absences or 10 days in any 6 month period during the next 12 months

1 absence of 4 days or less will mean removal from the procedure.

Hi this is my first posting so be kind

after every sick abstance you must have 'a return to work interview' within the first 2 hours of returning to you place of work

Failier to do this and your line manager has not followed proper procedure..............and this is enough to throw out any stage but especially stage 3

with a bad back (prolapsed disc) this is a medical condition and therefor covered by the Equality's act 2010 another reason to throw this out

A good manager wouldnt go any further with this as he/she would look stupid..................not the first time

good luck
