Hello
I wondered if anyone could give me some advice.
I was diagnoised on 30th April last year. Up until i had my masectomy on 30th June i continued working as normal. When i went off for my masectomy i started working from home and then buidling up to doing a few days a week in the office/working from home until i started chemo in the September. I continued working from home as and when i was able to, it was not my normal 9 to 5pm hours but i was still completing all tasks associated with my role. It may have been logging on at 1pm and working till 9pm or if i missed one day due to illness i would work a saturday or sunday etc. Although my contract states SSP for sickness my employer ki dly continued paying me full pay. However i believe i was also flexible in continuing to cover my role even though some weeks i was really very poorly. (They were even ringing me about work whilst i was admitted to hospital) . I started back in the office full time the day after my last radiation session and i have been having time off for hospital appointments. I have had no time off away from work to recover.
My question is i was not officially on sick leave but i was also not working full time office hours so where do i stand with holiday entitlement ?
In my mind i was continuing to do my job albiet not at my set hours but i was working and covering my role at random times of the day, night and weekends, so i believe im still entitled to my 4 weeks holiday. I asked my employer for a return to work meeting as i was originally wanting a phased return as i am on burn out from not having any time off work but it the meeting never transpired and now im afraid to ask about my holidays being carried over.
I am totally exhausted as although i was not working in the office full time i was still working and doing a full time job whilst i was sick and working weekends etc and i have had no real time off where i dont need to log on and work for 10 months. I was banking on the the 4 weeks being carried over to this year so i could take time to mentally and physically recover.
Because i was not offically sick and i was not working in the office full time i dont know where i stand.
