Maybe your employer is wanting to know where they stand in regards to how long you will be sick for. Things do carry on you know and maybe they want to get together to decide your future with the company so that they can fill your role or decide to get some longterm cover.

Or are you hoping that they do the wrong thing so that you can take them to court?

Do you think you will go back to work in the future? Has your doctor given you any idea of how much more time off work you'll need?

Do you want to go back to work?

Do you think that there are some adjustments that can be made in order for you to go back to work?

What do you want to happen as a result of this?

At the end of the day you have already had considerable time off and you have to understand that your employer (who presumably is still paying something towards your sick pay) has invested interest in your wellbeing, albeit they may be going about it in the wrong way. If that is really your biggest concern then the best way to deal with it is to communicate it to your employer, trying to avoid any kind of meeting/discussion with them will merely heighten their concern. Look at it from their point of view, they are an employee down, they are more likely to keep a job open when they are kept in the loop regularly as to how you are progressing, by avoiding this they may get the impression that you will be off for longer than they can hold your job for.

what has your doctor said about the likelihood of you returning to work?

if it is open ended ie does not have an end date when you will be able to go back, where does that leave your employer?

my contract metion that in case of long term illness they woudl pass through occu health why was not pass through it when i ask for it ?

Well we aren't going to lnow that, are we! One to ask the boss again.

I would suggest that if you have been advised to bring a colleague or union rep then it is a meeting under formal absence management or capability procedures. So be prepared.

I doubt that it is a disciplinary meeting, they want to ascertain the likelihood of you returning to work. Employers often ask for medical records of someone who is on longterm sickness absence when they are considering retiring them on the grounds of ill health, they need to know a) if any reasonable adjustment could be made or hours changed or whatever to see if you are able to return to work or b) they want to retire you on ill health grounds because there is no hope of you ever returning. They need these documents to pass on to occupational health too for their opinion on your condition (occupational health usually has doctors in it).

Also you have said that your employer has visited you at home? This isnt to have a nosey around as you put it but to see you to discuss your employment in an attempt to ascertain if you are fit to return.

It isnt unusual to be asked to take a union rep with you to meetings, your employer is being compliant when they offer that facility. It is so that you have someone there with you who can possibly speak on your behalf as well.

I think that you also need to be honest with yourself because by your own advmission you have been off sick for a very long time and your employer cannot reasonably expect to keep your job open indefinitely if there is little chance of you returning. If you were well enough then surely you would have returned to work by now but instead you have been signed of for longer.

I am sorry if this sounds harsh but its to show you how your employer may be thinking so be prepared to be given ill-health retirement.
