Work
|
Work - you may have had a period of sick leave if your sight or hearing has suddenly deteriorated.
|
|
You may want to return to work gradually as you are unsure of your capabilities.
|
Occupational health and the Personnel Department should be able to arrange a Phased Return to Work. This is where you work fewer hours initially. As your confidence grows and any aids etc are implemented you can return to your usual hours.
A Phased Return to Work can work in two ways.
Either - you work fewer hours and get paid at a reduced rate accordingly. However, you are NOT accumulating any sick time.
Or - you work a reduced number of hours, get paid your usual pay BUT are accumulating full time sick leave ie. you have 6 months before you go onto half pay.
