Unfortunately im going to have to go back to work on Tuesday (I work part time 3 days)
so I will be doing a lot of sitting.
They have sent me a letter and it looks like I'm going to get a written warning for
being off sick. The trigger point is 21 days and I've been off just over 3 week by the
time I go back. I had already decided I would go back to work before I got the
letter. Even though I have been to doctors 4 times and got valid sick notes, they
still take disciplinary action.
As far as I can see from the information they sent, they will expect me to improve my
sickness absence by not taking any more sick leave for at least 6 months. So if my
back goes again or I need additional treatment/surgery etc for the sciatica, then it's
pretty much tough!
Ive got a meeting with them later this week, so prayers that I don't get ill again would
also be appreciated.
The last time I had a sick note before this year was 11 years ago and I've worked for them
19 years but that does not seem to count for anything.

I was due to have some physio just before Christmas, but everything cleared
up by itself. So I cancelled the appointment and I've been fine since.
The sickness disciplinary hearing has been hanging over me since I returned
to work. But last week I was looking up my personnel records to book some leave
and I saw the case had just been closed! Several times I was told by my line
manager that i would get a written warning following a disciplinary hearing. But she
was too busy to arrange it. Now the matter has just been closed off with no further
action taken. It looks like she forgot and because it's gone over the time limit it's
too late now for any action.
Praise God!
