Staying In Touch With My Employer
10 Answers
I am currently not working, I have been signed off by my doctor with mental health issues. My employer is insisting that I stay in touch on a fortnightly basis via phone to tell them how 'I'm getting on'. The main factor of me being signed off work is due to my employer. Do they have the right to tell me to do this?

I went off sick on 31/10/2003 and was not released from my employment until the following September.
I had to meet my boss every couple of weeks. We met at a cafe and I was able to take a friend with me.
I was very reluctant to meet her but I put up with it. I was a civil servant and there are rules governing such things, your employer should give you some information.
Luckily I never went back to work.

Reading between the lines it sounds to me like the OP has been the victim of a nasty manager type and that person wants to dig at him some more. James I'd just say something to the effect: "You are the reason I am off, If I see you it will prolong my absence, I will agree to meet someone other than you" - In reality they can't fire you if you are signed off sick but they are within their rights to have regular updates. Keep everything in writing via email or whatever.
