Hi everyone I'm just wondering who has worked from home during sheilding and now has to return to the office even though you can work fully from home. 
My GP gave me a note only for four weeks home working as suggested but I'm stuck and they are saying I've got to go into the office as I've been home long enough, they've worked since last year! Not helpful as I've worked to

    Hello @Dee2021

    Welcome to the community, glad you've joined us! 

    I'm sure there are many of our users who have experienced shielding and are currently in the process of transitioning back into the office, or are contemplating when that time may come.

    Have you discussed your situation with your employer? You could broach the subject of flexible working, or permanent home working. They may be willing to make some adjustments for you.

    Thank you for answering and great going promotion!
    I'm hoping others on sheilding may know or can help with answers, I'm worried about going into the office and being singled out

    I will continue to wait for my union to contact me, as the government guidance is work from home if possible, which it's possible, so not reasonably acceptable to demand I work in the office yet

    Hi @Dee2021

    Just wanted to say hi and add my welcome to the community :)

    That sounds like a good plan. No doubt your union will be in touch with you in due course. Hope you find something out pretty soon. Do drop by again to let us know how you get on.
