Tips For Employees - Going Back To Work

Firstly think about or even write down exactly what you are expecting when you get back to work. This helps you face any apprehensiveness and allows you time to come to terms with returning to normal living.

If you work full time find out whether you can go back part time. Think about either shorter days or less days.

If you work part time find out whether you can do quarter time.
Think about either shorter days or less days.

Think about the people you work with and the actual tasks/activities you do.

Do you feel comfortable going back to the same environment?

Are the tasks/activities you do too strenuous when you return to work at first?

Do you need to ask for a change in role for a short time until you regain your 100% level of strength? Is this possible? Ask?

If in doubt ASK, your employer can only say no. Check out some of the link sites on the link page to find you legal entitlements.
