Sarah I would agree they are on dodgy ground equality wise, as they are not treating all they're employees equally Joyce -------------------------- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld ----- Original Message ----- From: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wed Jan 06 15:10:27 2010 Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Phased Return to Work Programmes Dear All I am currently battling with the HR managers to understand the benefits of phased return to work programmes for certain individuals. However their attitude is that they will accept reduced hours but this will be reflected in a reduction in the employees pay, or have to make up their hours at a later point, or using their annual leave to supplement the reduced hours. The alternative is if the individual should go back off sick until such time they are fit to resume full time hours !! Saying this there are certain members of staff ie academics who are permitted to be allowed to have a phased retrun and their pay is not affected. Could anybody advise if what they are doing is legal in terms of equality and also any information or research to provide evidence as to the benefits to employee and employer. And what process do your employers follow Many thanks Sarah Sarah Flower Occupational Health Adviser University of East Anglia Norwich NR4 7TJ Tel: 01603 592174 ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
