Managers coming to visit you when off sick

[proops2000 10]

Depends on you sick procedure and how long you have worked there, but your contract is a 2 way deal, if you don't turn up should they pay you?

You're lucky- my boss didn't even send me a get well soon card when I was diagnosed with cancer!

 

But seriously, I'd make sure that you get advice and possibly have a representative there too.

It's good management practice to keep in touch with employees when off sick, and arrange meetings either at the workplace or at your home. It does seem a bit soon after only a week though

Hide all the staplers and pencils that have accidentally fallen in your pockets.

Its all down to your company's sickness procedure. Many employers (mine do) carry out home/welfare visits of their staff. My current employer does this every four weeks without fail. It doesn't have to be in your own home, but can be a local cafe or even you can go into work etc.

 

Fairly common now so nothing to worry about.

:hihi:but be careful they may have another agenda even though you have been signed off!

I would contact Citizens Advice. This happened to me but as far as I know they cannot force a visit on you - if they want to see you suggest you going into work.

 

I'd be a bit careful:suspect:

Id read your contract

at my employment they only do it if you have been off 5weeks

[Cyclone 10]

Why all the advice on how to avoid it, what do people think is likely to happen? Dropped in a burlap sack and carried back to work?

[Mr_Squirrel 10]

My manager can call and see me anytime he wants should i phone in sick, simply because that if i phone in sick - i am sick!

 

All i would ask is that he brings with him a sympathy bottle of Jack Daniels and some ciggys.

[rockchick80 10]

He might be bringing your wages.

 

Hmmm, nice thought xXx

Whilst i was on long term sick, i was contacted via a letter asking me to attend a meeting from my Manager, the venue and time of my choice, all i had to do was call him an discuss times and venue.

 

I met up with him in a quite pub, then a month or so later i received another letter for a further meeting, this time on the premises of my work place along with a team leader present.

 

I was told it was all for my wellbeing, basically covering their backs.

 

I'd have a read of your contract if you have a copy at home... (I do believe they have to give you notice and you have to agree to it)
