I had been of with an injury and had a note from my doctor saying I could return to work with light duties they agreed but i was not allowed to do overtime ...however I am better now so asked my doctor to give me a fit to return to work note with normal duties I gave this to my employer but they won't let me off light duties and I still can't do overtime whilst the rest of the workforce can is this legal?

Thanks Aligee

    Heya @Aligee and welcome to the community. 😊

    I'm glad to hear you're better now at least. I'm unsure of the legalities of your situation and we cant give legal advise I'm afraid. But we do have a few legal eagles here who may be able to give pointers. Have you spoken to anyone at ACAS? They're usually the go to for disability law.

    Hi Albus thanks for your welcome message..I haven't spoken to ACAS . I have sent my union rep a message but haven't received a reply yet as of yet.
