I have been off sick quite alot with minor ailments due to being very run down. It has all been genuine absence but my employer wasn't happy. I told them it was something more serious that would require a few weeks treatment so they would draw a line under it all and I would have chance to get well. Now they want to write to my consultant to get comfirmation of this but obviously they won't get it as I haven;t been totally honest. I am never dishonest but wanted them to think it was more serious that it is so I would have chance to get well again. What can I do? will a basic letter saying I am fit to work be enough or will they actually want a letter outlining exactly what is wrong?? I am seriously stressed so honest nice answers please...I am a single parent and don't want to lose my job. xx

Your specific medical condition, diagnosis details is private between you and your doctor. I would ask your H.R. department what kind of information they need from your doctor so you can bring them the certification that they need. They may just want a note from your doctor as to whether you are ok to return to work or not. They may want to know if this is going to be a continuing issue where intermittent leave will be needed going forward so they can schedule your work accordingly, or they may want to know if you are being released for work.

Your exact medical issues are a private matter between you and your doctor. Unless you sign a release, the doctor should only be telling your employer whether you are fit for work or not, not exactly what is wrong with you.
