Reasonable adjustments

Prosaicparakeet

I recently underwent an occupational health assessment, which recommended that I work remotely for administrative tasks, as the majority of my role involves direct patient interaction. Unfortunately, my manager has not implemented this recommendation, and I am experiencing pressure to attend mandatory social events during the holiday season and work in a demanding office environment. I am concerned about potential burnout and feel unsupported by my manager. I am considering obtaining a fit note from my doctor to reinforce the occupational health guidance regarding remote work for administrative duties. Has anyone encountered a similar situation?

    On paper getting reasonable adjustments looks ok but in practice it is dependent on your managers view of what is reasonable. Most managers will take the path of least resistance as having to explain why A gets treated more favourably that B,C, D etc. To the manager you are an outlier and more difficult to manage.

    Are you in a union?

    Speak to your manager or raise a grievance and hope that you do not get discriminated against.

    It is no wonder that so many people do not disclose or end up out of work.

    Good luck with your requests.
