Quote: rover49 "She is in Unison. She is still a bit shell shocked after the call.
My company monitor sickness and have a warning system, but not for a clear case of accident as is this case, its more for patterns of sickness behaviour that are dodgy.'"
Your company probably uses the "Bradford Score" or similar, which is a calculation on duration and frequency, one lot of seven days gets a lower score than seven incidences of a single day (as 7 days straight is more likely to be a genuine illness).
Has she had a formal warning in writing, a hearing of any kind, she should look to take someone in to her return to work interview as well.
If she can't get a Union Rep to do it PM me, I know a couple of people who might be able to help, I assume we're talking either HCC or EROYC?
