i got suspended for gross misconduct (wont go into details) otn the 7th of may,had the fact finding interview on the 9th of may at which i asked to be refered to atos i have had health problems in the recent past.heard nothing until yesterday and then get a phone call from ATOS with a date for an apointment (this was requested by a manager on the 8th 0f JUNE).now my next (2nd)meeting with the dom is on 14june.
so is this a glimmer of hope or are they just covering there backs?

atos have been ok, with me, its better to have a face to face with atos than just a phone call interview, the managers do take health concerns into account, the job has been made more stressful, due to cutbacks

Unfortunately the way things are probably not , they'll just go through the motion
Most of it will depend on what you have done and lenght of service.

Sorry but it could be either.martiniqueen wrote:no i mean is this a glimmer of hope i wont be sacked as why would they request an atos apointment if as i fear the decison has been made.
1. They may suspect that the DDA may be playing a part and have decided to check just in case - hence the referral.
or
2. Depending on the nature of the referral it may just be a tick box exercise that the manager is following.
Sorry

Re: is this aglimmer of hope?
i was not suspended for health problems but it was in my opinion my problems that caused me to do what i did,but i dont want to go into details as my cwu rep is taking me thru it and he is pretty experianced so i hold out a little and i mean a little hope.i feel that my dom has already taken the decision but is just going thru the motions and my 40 years and clean record will count for sweet F all.
