DH has been off work since July with depression. He has been signed off again until Jan.
His work is small with no HR team and I am struggling with what should be happening and what shouldn't with regards to his return to work.
He is not ready to go back. He is on strong ADs seeing a counsellor weekly and beginning to make some progress.
His work have been good so far. No contact no hassle. There is an underlying feeling of unhappiness from them.
They do not have a HR dept and have been taking advice. They have requested medical report on his condition (which was supplied) along with asking the GP for suggestions to aid his return.
He had a face to face meeting with them where the MD gave a very negative view on the GPs recommendations "well that's not going to work" at the suggestion of working from home. DH came away very upset at the negativity.
He has since been requested by his work to see another counsellor to asses him
Over 3 sessions and to make recommendations to his work.
Both his GP and counsellor feel this would not be helpful and made their own suggestions of Consultants within the field.
Work had rejected this and still want him to see their requested lady.
So....what now? DH feels he is being bullied into doing something he doesn't want to do.
What will happen if he doesn't attend? What are the next stages in the process for employers and employees?
Sorry for the ramble!
