Am I right in thinking you work for Asda?

you can 'phone ACAS for advice

hi kitykat no dont work for asda . just a stupid company .

thanks egg and chips . nice lady has put link up . and thankyou had a look and I think might to e. mail them with my problem .

3 Weeks off for a thumb injury? What do you do?

It sounds like you have had some rotten luck with sickness. That being said, if I ran a company, I would want people in work and would aim to hire healthy people, maximizing my profits.

took your comment on deanobirko . I dont wish to discuss what my job is . also I cant afford to be off . and do you work ? if you do good luck to you . some people are healthy than others . ive just had a bad run of illness .

how long is your length or service? If it's over a few years and your sickness record has been fairly clean in the past, I wouldn't worry about it.

Unfortunately employer don't give a toss about your illnesses.....as has already been said, they're only interested in making more money !!

Did you find anything that helps you? Please say you've worked for the company for over 12 months. Unfortunately, I needed the help of ACAS last year but as I had only worked for this company for 11 months and 2 weeks to be exact. I didn't have a leg to stand on. They wanted rid of me before they took over paying for my apprenticeship.

thankyou all that has give me advice , spongegirl can I say thankyou so much . I had advice of them which was very helpfull.ive worked for my company for 7 years . after the advice I was given . my employer had made a mistake as back to work interviews by law have to be done .ive spoke to my HR department and they have said to dismiss the letter and no displinary action will be taken . hence my manger got a telling off . thanks all again . will leave thread on for a bit . can anyone tell me please how I delete my post . regards
