Can a company actually mark you as sick despite been signed of by your doc?
HI All, due to serious health issues i have been off sick for the past 6 months, i have now been certified fit to return to work by my doctor with some provisions i.e initial part time or phased base employment and the need to be assessed by an organisational health therapist.
The company has now extended my sick leave despite my fit to return to work until my meeting with the organisational therapist. Can a company actually mark you as sick despite been signed of by your doc? Cheers Izolda

Big businesses have HR departments and/or people with the skills and time to deal with this sort of issue. The disruption and cost to a small business could be devastating.And a big business / service.

That's a totally inaccurate presentation of the OP's post and the employers response.Izolda was sick for six months. Her doctor issued a recommendation that she was fit to resume duty and pesumably the ability to carry the full range of her duties. Whether the business is large or small is not the issue. The issue is the policy of the company in not accepting the word of Izolda's doctor. The potential devastating disruption and cost was brought on the company by itself, not the employee. (Just another reason why we need trade unions).

Having seen the devastation that Unions cause on businesses, and having seen the resulting unemployment, I wouldn't with them on any business or employer. They are a cancer on society and one of the main reasons people die on trolleys in our hospitals, children with special needs are not provided for and families sleep in hotels. They are the tar in the veins of our society and the State sector.
I'm not pointing the finger at anyone. That defensiveness is a big part of the problem. I'm saying that the law is designed by public servants and people in large organisations with the assumption that everyone has access to their level of resources.Purple you're at it again. (i) How can you say "That's totally inaccurate presentation . . . " Did you read my post?
(ii)" . . . . and the employers response." Once agin,, did you read my post.
(iii) Did you read Izolda's post?
If I were representing Izolda as a local trade union buff I'd have no problem dissolving your concerns.
. . . . and another point, the reason trade unions exist is because of the likes that represent cases like you did here.
Point the finger where you should and not be looking for a soft scapegoat.
What the OP said wasHer doctor issued a recommendation that she was fit to resume duty and pesumably the ability to carry the full range of her duties. Whether the business is large or small is not the issue. The issue is the policy of the company in not accepting the word of Izolda's doctor.
The important point here is that the doctor did not recommend that the OP was fit to resume duty and carry out the full range of her duties. Quite the opposite. The doctor added some previsions such as intially returning part time or phased employment and the need to be assessed.i have now been certified fit to return to work by my doctor with some provisions i.e initial part time or phased base employment and the need to be assessed by an organisational health therapist.

Probably a worse nightmare for the person suffering from a long term illness.
