I DONT WRITE A THREAD IN AGES AND THEN 2 COME ALONG AT ONCE!!
I am registered disabled at work and I was wondering how this actually benefits me as a diabetic
We have a sick policy called the Bradford factor and I have no idea how it works but if you have 100 points then HR will be on your back. Due to a couple of operations my score is now 186 but I have avoided a formal warning because I took annual leave as well as sick leave at the time to show a bit of give and take.
I also use annual leave to go to the eye clinic a. diabetic clinic and any other medical appointments and over the last 2 years I have lost a lot of holiday entitlement due to poor health and fear of using sick.
I have never used diabetes as an excuse to have a few sneaky days off ( I think most people with diabetes have a point to prove that we are as capable as the next person!)
Normally this isn't an issue but for some reason I have had a run of health issues (cancer scare, wisdom tooth.operations and now an eye bleed)
After all that waffle my question is,. What is the duty of the employer in relation to diabetics if they were aware of the condition when offering the job initially do we have protection?
