I think I would require proof of the course. Then look at what possible adjustments can be made. I agree though it sounds like a big ask of any company. It's not reasonable to expect a company to lose an employer for 60% of their working hours and still pay them. Would her condition be covered by the Equality act? HR would need to be involved if possible.

Wonder if anyone has heard of anything similar plesae? I have just received a referal for an employee whom has recently recieved a diagnosis of a personality disorder. She has advised her employer that she has been invited to attend a course...3 days a week for 18 months. I have not seen the employee yet....but work are asking if this is realistic ? Just wondered, if anyone had come across this length of course before and if the workplace accomodated it ? Many thanks in anticipation Sarah Meacham OHA ________________________________ ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
