Hello all,
I was on a stage 3 for attendance (DDA diabetes & depression) & had a dismissal interview. I was taken off stage 3 but was told if I had two absences of 4 days or one absence of 10 days or more they would restart dismissal proceedings. I have since had an accident on my way to work - a slip on a wet path & fall. I was taken to hospital by ambulance and was diagnosed to have a T12 fracture of the spine. My DOM said I should return to work, which I did after an absence of 3 work days. The next day I had an appointment at the fracture clinic where they said there was no way that I should have returned to work. They said I should refrain from work for at least 8 weeks & gave a sick note accordingly.
I am obviously now fearful of dismissal.
Can anyone advise me of my position & likelihood of dismissal?
P.S. I believe my slip & fall was caused by new CAT trainers received the day before my accident.
many thanks in anticipation.
