Off sick and employer home visit?
Comments

When it comes to typing rubbish you are in a class of your own. :mad:
I disagree.
I've read a few posts of Proc's lately where he's blunt (in a UKtim29 kind of a way) but have to admit he has a point. This is another of those threads. It is easy to get into a rut when you're off sick. I snapped my achilles a few years back and was non weight bearing for 13 weeks following an op. It is easy to get into a routine that doesn't involve work of any kind and hard to get out of it sometimes. I didn't have the internet back then but with Playstation games and daytime TV plus naps I had the life of Riley!
At least the employer is showing they care and not just leaving it to Occy Health.
Why would you not want a visit from your employer? Maybe the OP hasn't been doing the housework lately.

If you are suffering from a serious psychological problem it would be the last thing you wanted and could have a serious effect on your health and rate of recovery.
Obviously if you have your leg in a huge plaster cast but otherwise feel fine then it may be OK.
My point is that it is not for employers to make unqualified medical judgements. If they feel they need one then they can as the employee if they will agree to see an OH doctor or pay for the GP to write a report.
All this can perfectly well be done in writing.
And if the OP is sick then they may well not be up to date on the housework!0 -

If the person isn't cooperating as someone said before the employer can make their own decisions for the best of the company, whether or not its a mental illness/physical illness if the person is uncooperative it is more than likely to make the business choose a negative route for the employee.
I don't think people are going their to make medical decisions for the employee, they are going there to see if the employee is likely to be back any time soon...depending on their answer the business can make the decisions from there.
However to cover their own back the business should be going through the procedure of getting a DR's report etc etc before they dismiss the personAlways ask ACAS0 -

My employer did not come to visit me. She knew how long I was going to be off work. But if she had wanted to come it would've been OK.
The OP's problem is mental - there's no reason not to do the housework because it is good exercise as well as helping to lift the mood. Endophins and all that.
How do you know that the visit will have a deep traumatic effect? Answer - you don't and neither does the OP.
If I were the employer I would be suspicious if I wanted to visit and someone didn't want me to.
Maybe a bit of pulling herself up by the bootstraps would be beneficial here. With some things the thought of them is often worse than the reality.
Or if work is causing the problem then they should resign and get a job they like.
Just my 2p but then I belong to the camp that thinks people mollycoddle themselves these days and far too easily cry "I can't cope". Sorry but I think it is wet to be honest!0 -

Well I hope you never suffer from a serious psychological illness.
No, on second thoughts, it is what people like you deserve!
"I see dumb people" it says in your signature. Perhaps you should spend less time looking in the mirror.0 -
If it's work-related stress, your employer's visit could only escalate your condition and it will not help you at all. You should inform your employer about that.sarah1975uk wrote: »Stress and depression and no im not geting paid!Mr. Mulla0 -
Hi
My mum is off work with a four week sick note with depression and stress. She has a new boss who was putting excessive pressure on her at work. She has been off for about 2 weeks now and she has been told that she has to have a home visit from HR and her boss on Tuesday.
What are her rights regarding this and what sorts of things can they and can they not ask her? I want to be there for support and I want to be able to tell them if they're straying into an area that is not allowed but I am uncertain of what types of things they are allowed to ask/discuss and what is not allowed.0 -
Why do so many people insist on making harder work for everyone?
You're off work for a long period of time and your employer wants to come and have a chat with you? Boooohoooo waaaaaah that must be so stressful.
You can sit at a computer typing rubbish on forums but as soon as someone wants to come and have a chat with you it's all "oh I feel pressurized cry cry cry".
Seriously, stop being so pathetic. Have you really locked yourselves in your bedrooms with no human contact all this time?
Work shy saps, got something to hide?
This person has a lot more problems than the OP.
Chin up OP and ignore this.0 -

As the OP's post was from 2008 I would suspect their chin is well and truly up already
As for the poster above you, I suggest you start a new thread for better responses.The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!
If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!
4 people on the ignore list....Bliss!0
