How long have you been off work Carp? Now you need to let HR and your boss know

Edina, I rang boss earlier and will sort it all out Thursday morning. I'd been in last week and told them I would be back. I've been off for about 11 weeks.

That is quite a while are you sure 1 week of a phased return is enough?

GP only said a week so I hope so. I'm not full time (I used to do cover shifts on my days off but don't have to sign up for them and won't be) so I'm not due in every day (3 or 4 days a week depending on rota). It's more that my shifts are up to 10 hours and I hope that I can do a few shorter days as dealing with customers for that long on a public enquiry desk with telephone and email as well is quite tiring at the best of times.

My phased to return was decided by HR and my line manager not my GP
