Sickness/constructive dismissal

What is it that you want here? A letter of love? Payment for not working? To get fired? To get invited in for a cup of tea? For them to ask you how you're feeling? A birthday present? A P45? A cuddle?

Look at this from a dispassionate business perspective. You are not assisting the business in any way. You are not able to work and you seem to indicate this is not about to change anytime soon. They can't change that or make you suddenly fit for work. They do not owe you any money. They are receiving a steady stream of fit notes saying "cpr17 can't come back to work right now". As far as they are concerned there is no reason to do anything. You really don't have anything to complain about. As has been stated they are well within their rights to have had two meetings, concluded that you have no feasible return-to-work date, and dismissed you. They don't need to be chatting to you when there's nothing to discuss, surely.

On the contrary, you, despite having no feasible return to work on the cards, have not done the right thing and resigned. Your temporary stand-in, who has been doing your job daily since you got ill, is probably still on a temporary contract and doesn't know if his job is secure, doesn't know if he will even have a job next week, all because you haven't bothered to be reasonable and cut the cord. But I bet you didn't think about that poor guy, did you?

I'm really sorry for your long-term illness but the world is not just about you and other people are more focussed on themselves than on you. It's the way the world is.

Hi yksi 
Nice little rant there with zero help 
Lets get a few things  straight yes i do want communication off the in accordance with sickness policy and stated in employment law. Not much to ask really is it. Why would i just resign when i dont have to and dont want to that makes no sense to do that.
And my temporary stand-in as you say no i dont have to think about them when they stepped into my position they new it was only temporary so they are fully aware that it will change. 
There is no cord to cut and the business have a duty of care and have laws and policies to follow. Sickness its not about being compassionate its about following correct procedures.
But thanks for your comment

Is there any material change in your ability to work - you say you want to return, but is there any prospect of this or any likely return date? (Be realistic.) If the answers are both no, is this limbo land really the best solution here? I do agree that they could have the courtesy to at least reply to your messages of course. So have you tried saying "I will be attending the office on Monday 9th December at 9am for a meeting to discuss how things are and I trust that this time will be suitable" to see if that prompts them to respond?

Are you in a union? Can you get them to fight on your behalf? You could probably join them today, too.

Hi yksi
At the moment in time there is not a date to return and yes i am being realistic. I have been left in limbo by my employer. I am not in a position to set up a date for a meeting that is to do with HR and higher management i have messaged HR to request further contact but fell on deaf ears. I am in a union thanks and they are looking it to some information for me before i take any further steps....

Communication aside what outcome do you want?

Return to work or get terminated?

I may be wrong, but any PI claim should have had provisions within it regarding current and future employment.
You need to review the final resolution and ask whoever dealt with the settlement.

If you've got a union involved, then honestly they are going to be far better equipped to help you with this than we are.

You really don’t get it do you.
Not surprised they don’t want to talk with you with the attitude you’ve taken with people here trying to help you.
