That's not actually the OP's problem. Her mum could get another sick note and that is what her employer wants. She wants to go back to work on different duties so that she doesn't lose pay.

To the OP, is there a HR department your mum could talk to see if there was anything she could do to return to work?

There is no HR department.

She wants to go to back to work ASAP so that she isn't losing money, the statutory sick pay would be more than £100 less than she normally earns per week, and she can't afford that to happen.

She claims working tax credits (she's telling me as I type..), and wants to know also how long she can do this for if it came down to her taking statutory sick pay?

Thanks once more for all the help.

That's scandalous. She should get the doctor to write saying she couldn't possibly carry out these tasks and she should stay off till she feels 100%. Damn shame.

Maybe read what was put? The company are saying that she is to stay on the sick until fully better, they are not forcing her back soon but they are also saying that she cannot go onto light duties either (probably as there may not be the need for an extra person)
