Work issue

[Bettyboo71]

Hi everyone
I am looking for some advice i was off work sick for a week due to being admitted to hospital i was given a sick note by the hospital i returned to work on the 10th December 2017 i have now been given a letter stating i am having a sickness review i have to have an operation but haven't been given a date yet my manager as told me this sickness review will include a warning for being off sick and will also include my absence to have the operation am i right in thinking i cannot be given a warning for something that hasn't happened yet

Re: Work issue

Just a couple of things:

1. When you were admitted to hospital did you or someone on your behalf telephone your employer to let them know you were off sick.
2. What has your sickness record been over the last 12 months.
3. Does your employer have a sickness policy in place? If so what does it say about their process for dealing with sickness absence and the issuing of warnings.

I am concerned that there appears to have been a pre-determination that a warning will be issued as a result of your sickness review but this may be covered in the sickness policy. There is also the issue of giving you a warning for sickness absence that has not yet occurred.

If you can post up the information from the sickness policy (company name and your name redacted as appropriate) then that would be really helpful to me being able to provide more specific guidance.
