Right, so as of Monday, I'm on suspension with full pay. My employer is supposedly sending a letter to me on the Monday with a fixed date of when to go in to sit in front of a "panel" to discuss why I am to be suspended permanently. I've an appointment with my doctor Monday with a plan of getting a sick note for a month (or more?) - will this effectively prolong my suspension?

Advice?
 
I can just imagine crackface popping on here now, jaw swinging, and throwing employment advice about. :D
 
It depends if they require any input from you in the panel meeting I suppose.

I'm not a HR expert, but if the suspension relates to misdemeanor prior to your doctors sick note, then my take is that they would still be within their right to remove you, unless this is a medical condition which can be backdated and proven to be at least partly responsible for why you're on suspension in the first place. Unless it's drug use, of course.

Basically no one can say for sure without more information. Even then we may not know. This is a discussion to be had with your doctor and HR/Union rep, not Bluelight.
 
I cant imagine itd do you any harm.

smart move if anything. [edit] but like the squirrel said, it's totally dependent on your particular circumstances

remember mugz? he did a similar thing I think and he held on jobwise for quite sometime.

You gonna elaborate on why youre suspended ie: is it bcos of a gross misconduct one off kinda thing, or because a series of naughtiness?

How can you be suspended permanently,surely that means they are sacking you.
I was suspended from my last place for 2 weeks but was on full pay during the suspension and it was the same for other people when they were suspended that it was always on full pay.
Folk used to want to be suspended as it was just extra paid days off work and 9 times out of 10 you still kept your job anyway.
 
I was doing a training scheme and apparently my results wasn't up to par. I've refuted the results, as in a large part the tutors (former students whom chatted with each other leaving us to our own devices) were at fault.

Still, paid leave. Just want to drag it out as long as I can as it's an soulless agency.
 
ha, so I was right with my PTCH benefit scrounging accusations a while back.

Discotits... good user-name.

Good thinking also, screw the cunts before they screw you.

You need to ask a "free legal advice" helpline, but make sure you present it in a nice way... "I'm about to be attend a trial over suspension... but I am really ill and signed off work... can they sack me while I'm ill before a trial?"
 
I'm disappointed with PTCH's advice. He should be giving you pointers on how to go off on the sick for extended periods of time so you can sit about skinning joints and playing GTA pretending to be ill.

C'mon PTCH you are the master at this!
 
Lol, I wasn't cheating benefits.

I don't know anything about getting suspended for misconduct or whatever it was, can't be bothered checking back now. That was the thing I had going for me when I was on the skive, all I'd ever done wrong was be off sick.

The only trick is to have an employer who pays full sick pay, have a reasonably stressful job, then tell a doctor that you're stressed as fuck. They'll sign you off for as long as you like.

Edit - Being a member of the union helped massively.
