Days Off Started by: Olga

Hey!
I’ve had my operation yesterday and have booked a week off of work but told them I needed time off either way because I’m having an operation… I didn’t tell them what I was having done though as that’s my decision. When I got a letter from MYA saying I needed a certain amount of time off as well, I told them not to include what I was having or any mention of MYA and they didn’t.
Really you should tell you work as they should know just in case anything happens to you or there are certain things you shouldn’t be doing.
Hope that helps xx

Hi hun, my surgeon has given me a minimum of three weeks off work due to what I do. You can request a note from your doctor to give to your work saying that you’re having an operation and need a certain amount of time off and then when you return you need to be on light duties. They can do it on plain paper with no mention of what your operation is. That way you may be able to receive sick pay as well if the money you’d be losing is an issue. Xx
