Hi
I'm a single mum and I work more or less full time for a very small company (6 people) its recently gone through some tough times and we all had reduced hours for a couple of months to try to avoid redundancy, I was always told I was a main cog and very valued etc so I felt pretty secure.
Roll on a couple of months and I have found myself having to have surgery which has had further complications. I am on pretty strong medication and antibiotics which have awful side effects and this will continue for another 5 weeks. After that I may be facing further major surgery which could potentially see me off for 18 months. I am receiving SSP which doesn't even touch any of my bills which is seriously stressing me out! I don't want to be stuck off work not earning anything.
They emailed me last night to say they were coming to my house on Friday morning for a Welfare Meeting' after taking advice from their Employment Advisors.
Now, my gut screams that they are going down the dismissal route as well as they know how to and I appreciate that it would be near on impossible for them to operate without me fulfilling the job on a daily basis and I have already been absent for 5 weeks. However, I don't want to be without a job!
I have been advised that I can have a representative wih me but it will be next week probably before I can get that sorted which they have just said no problem to.
This illness issue has such a knock on effect that its a whole other thread but right now I would really, very much appreciate any advice or experience from anyone that has been in this kind of situation.
I feel sick :(
