Hi all, two weeks ago I had to be assessed at work by Occupational health, a routine yearly check up my company performs. However, she picked up on my diabetes and the fact that I have recently had to have an injection into my thumb joint for 'trigger finger' . I use hand tools for several hours a day and she told me that it is causing damage to my hands and would advise the company to take me off this job and relocate me. Guess what....I found out yesterday there is someone replacing me next Monday, boss doesn`t know I am aware of this, had a chat with my manager and he says he doesn`t have any suitable work for me and will let me know if he is going to lay me off when I return from holiday in a fortnight. Seems a bit unfair that my hand was damaged at work but now it has been flagged up he seems to want me out asap. Any ideas how to proceed from here if I am laid off ? Not got a clue what to do next, hopefully he may find something for me while I`m away, but if I am laid off for this does that mean I`m unfit for work? I keep my diabetes under control with meds and diet and have recently started injecting with Exenatide so no problems there and I declare it to any employers when applying for a job.
