Advice regarding getting overs and time off work Started by: chazz

I had overs Thursday morning and there’s no way I’d be back after a week, granted the pain isn’t that bad but I don’t feel stable enough sat up as they’re so heavy and was also recommended by my surgeon to stay at a 45 degree angle for 5 days to help them stay in place as they can move so much the first few days x

I had 2 weeks off work, used annual leave. I defo needed 2 weeks off – I had unders and work in an office. 3 weeks would have been ideal as my first week back at work I struggled to drive – using the gear stick was painful ????

I’m having unders, I work in an office and taking 10 days off . With regards to annual leave/sick note – I’m a HR manager and I would advise taking leave. If you use a doctors note then technically you’re deemed unfit to work but because it’s a cosmetic procedure and you’re not actually ‘sick’ it would be at the employers discretion whether or not to accept it. Out of courtesy to your employer I would just take leave. Perhaps speak to them first as they might be understanding.
