Hi All,
I am currently on Sick Leave due to Depression and Anxiety caused due to workplace bullying. I have raised a complaint with HR who has advised that I can take sick leave as long as I have a medical certificate. The doctor has been very supportive and is willing to support me (provide medical certificates and referral to a psychologist or psychiatrist if required and medication to help me sleep).
My compliant is currently under investigation but just wondering if anyone has been in this situation and how long have you taken your sick leave?
Does your company have an Employee Assistance Program/Helpline? They should.
Contact them and talk through your options, they're specially trained for exactly that.
