My Boss wont let me come to work... Help plz

Your employer has a legal duty to make "reasonable adjustments" for your disability. I would ask your doctor to clarify what he thinks you can and cannot do the take advice from the CAB or ACAS. It may the that a mention of disability discrimination will make you employer have a re-think!

Thank you to everyone thats helped out so far.

Just Rang my work Asking for a meeting with my Boss so seeing him thurs, Going to ask him about alot of this also going to Ring C/A in the morning see what they think of it all.

Also if he still does not let me back does anyone know if i can get more than the 50 odd ssp im getting at moment from them as living on that just dont work.

its mad cos iv worked from 14 and im now 28 never been off work or on benafits anything

so finding this all so hard to cope with

If its unlikely you'll ever be able to do heavy lifting again, then either your employer needs to re-arrange your job so that you only do things that you can do
or if that can't be done for whatever reason then you should be made redundant I would guess

Maybe your boss is worried about being sued by you, even though your doctor's signed you off.
So you start work do something that he considers light work but you end up injuring yourself and take Argos to the cleaners.

I'm not saying you would do this, just maybe what he thinks you might do.

When you have this meeting with your boss make sure that the HR advisor is there and maybe the area manager too? What area do you come under? If you're in the south west our new area manager is great!

There are PLENTY of jobs to do that don't involve ladders or heavy lifting:

• Tills
• Customer service
• Kiosk buddy (if you are a resourced store)
• Collection (someone can help with the heavy lifting)
• Over stickers/inserts
• Jewellery
• Stock counts

There's probably more, but I can't think of them at the moment.

We had a girl who was pregnant and they let her work on the till the whole time she was with us.

How long have you worked there? Do you not qualify for compant sick pay? Have a look in the employee handbook, it will tell you what you are entitled to.

If you feel you are not getting anywhere with them then perhaps contact John Douglass who is head of store operations

We do not know if the OP has a disability - that hasn't been determined.

Now we are getting there, well done PrintScreen :T ...........

"bad pain in my lower back which my Doctor say seems to be part of whatever is wrong but was not helped by a fall from a ladder at work when stock fell and knocked me off it." OP


As for the rest of you... Try sticking to watching The Brief.......:rotfl:

Well i had a meeting with my boss today And he has done a bit of a U turn on things. Frist off when i got there he had a witness in the office with him which i didnt mind but didnt think it was a formal meeting but anyway. I explain the ins and outs again that i wanted to return and that my doctor was happy for me to do that as long as i was on lite work. Told him that id spoke with Citizens advice about what was happen and the fact that there was other staff there on lite work. So as it turns out he now says he is happy for me to come back to work on lite stuff for a few weeks to see how it goes but il just be getting 18 hours a week which i cant say no to as that my con but always did 30 to 40 every week from i started but anyway dont thing i can do anything about that.

I'm glad you've sorted something out. Shame about your hours, but if you're on a 18 hour contract there's not a lot you can do about it. I'm on 18 and very rarely do anymore than 20 except xmas and cat launch.

Get yourself on the till become a FS star ;-)
