Yeah my six months is nearly up due to previous absences.

Cheers for the replies guys
Would you like to furnish some? Is the assault being investigated and has the man been suspended OR is there some doubt involved?

The individual who committed the alleged attack should have been suspended straight away. RM should have started investigation and kept you informed of process. If you are in the union then approach your rep to find out what is happening. The 6 month rule stands so if the individual is not on the premises you should be able to return to work before the 6 month is up.

All that time off for an assault that left no injury?,sounds to me like you are swinging the lead,I'm sure RM would have dealt with it by now if it was something so simple.

No she said the six months was up due to previous absences - presumably not a succession of assaults, however she does seem a little reticent to answer any direct questions and that in itself is a worrying sign. :hmmmm

Yeah, that what I thought DVB. Best not to go there. May cause her more harm than good.

Am I missing something here? Why did you not get the police involved straight away? you said he admitted assault and assault is a criminal offence ...(well it was last time I heard, if they have changed the law to allow assault someone please let me know, there are a few people I want to kick... :crazy: )
You should have gone to the law straight away, especially as he admitted it imo...

This sounds mighty fishy to me.
No I'm not being paranoid, they really are out to get me.
