Hi all, I came across this forum when looking online for what to do In my situation & I do hope someone may be able to advise me.
I have been in my employment for 18 months, I had no health issues at the time, it’s a desk job, over the past 6 months everything has gone to pot, I have mobility issues now, I can hardly walk but it hasn’t been an issue until now as my job is sat at a desk and I’m able to hobble to and from an uber to get there & back.
My employer has been aware of the numerous health issues and has so far accommodated and been good with me around my appointments, recently a new task was introduced meaning we all have to participate in walking to the back of the yard and do some temperature checks on electric vehicles (I work in breakdown recovery) this has to be done every 2 hours, i work nights, the floor in the yard is gritty, there are pot holes and it is unsafe for me to walk on in the daylight let alone dark, I have addressed this with my employer and he made fun of me and offered me his 95 year old mothers old walking frame and called me a member of the cripple club, as you can imagine I’m furious and no longer want to work for these people, my issue is, it’s a small company, there is no HR and he makes it up as he goes along, I have contacted my DR to ask for a limited capabilities document or sick note to say as much, I have not had a response yet but can anyone please advise me which way to go with this?
