Do I HAVE to tell work?

There’s no law or anything is there that says I have to tell work if I’m having an operation? Might sound like a silly question but I’m not saying anything at work and I don’t want to go in and have the boss tell me I was legally obliged to let her know or something.x

No of course not, although you will have to book time off and if you work in a very physical job it would be wise to let them know you won’t be able to do much for a while x

Thank you. I have booked 2 weeks holiday x

I didnt hun. Just cos i work in a male dominated environment, cos i wasnt going huge noone noticed. I have a very.physical job and was bk to work after 18 days xx

Fairys a hooker btw

Funnily enough…….

The HR stance on this (I checked with my dept)

Now all you have to tell work is that you are having surgery – as long as you provide a sick note that says you are unfit for work your company has to pay you sick leave.

Thefore my co are getting a sicknote off me for 2 weeks.

haha at ticky88.

i didnt tell my work just took it as holiday xx

Not using my hols – they can pay me full whack… lol

I drive a co car so not insured for first week – cant drive cant work!

Lol @ ticky

Thanks girls, just wanted to check, she can be funny at times and likes to know everything. She’s aready not happy because I haven’t said where I’m off on holiday for 2 weeks lol x

Weeey gotta get paid love xx

Belle – tell her you are going to f’off and mind ur own business land, all inc for 2 weeks lol xx

i fout about telling my boss that i was having surgery just incase i have to take time off for any further appointments if i need them but i dnt really want to! cause thats when the questioning would start and its like gossip city in this office!x

Laura tell him its private & confidential……………..

HAha hha ha hha ha cuks i was gonna write same!!

Got shit all to do with her. Dont lie and say ur away incase.anyone sees u. Just say u just fancied some time off to spend with friends and family xx

I wouldnt tell him! If you need time off for future appointments id just say it was a health issue and you needed the time off. As long as you give plenty of notice (i think it is around 1 – 2 weeks notice depending on the length of time needed) he cannot refuse it i dont think

xxxxx

bollocks, I took holiday. Didn’t realise I could take sick leave! damn x

Xellex yes you can -I asked my HR dept and told them exactly wot it was for and they said if a dr signs you off the co cannot question the reason why.

Hence the reason I am going on sick for two weeks.

I think cause its elective surgery we think we are not allowed time off.

I havnt told work. Just booked 2 weeks holiday xx

If and when I get mine done, I dont want to tell work as I would get the P*ss taken out of me for doing it, and mainly men where I work too

x

theres alot of stuff to do with health and safety uve gotta think about hun, in terms of what they can cover, i told my dep bout my op as she was young and had already had one, and she had to tell my manager exactly what i was having done as certain things i wouldnt be able to do. and i only work in a clothes shop so its not exactly strenuous but they need to be covered and so do you xx

i would think it depends on what the job is,from a health and safety point you could tell her that your having an operation,its womens problems,and its not something you want to discuss,it is a womans problem after all if you unhappy with your boobs,and personal, if your taking hols,chances are youll be fine in a couple of weeks but if your job involves lifting hun you may need to go back on light duties for a couple of weeks,in that situation she will need to know for health and safety reasons,and you dont want to be spoiling your new boobies by straining your self.

Thanks girls. I think I should be okay as I only work in an office so if I don’t legally HAVE to tell them then I won’t. They can wait until I’m back to know what I’ve been up to xx

you go girl give em a shock,lol,xxxxxxxxxxx

I had the same worry hun. I told people at work that I was goingt to Wales for 2 weeks!

But I did tell a big boss that I trusted and dont work directly with that I was having cosmetic surgery and didnt want anybody to know. I told her just incase there were any complications and I needed more time off. Then I could go straight to her to authorise instead of asking my direct manager.
