Stress Leave

I can only hope that with the letter from the GP, came a referral (which I am unaware of) to someone that specializes in mental health and there would be some kind of therapy to follow.
Apparently CAS was unaware of this (we have an open file, pending a court ruling), so hopefully now that they are, there will be another set of eyes and ears to monitor and help with resources for him. As much as I dislike the intrusion in our lives, they are pretty good at helping with resources and following up.

Tayken put your glasses on and read the part where I said it’s NOT like a broken leg. I stand by my conviction that stress leave is not and never will be like a broken leg.
I also stand my my conviction if you take 6 or more years off work it is an excellent way to lose your job. Even unionized workplaces give you the boot after three years off. It is extremely ignorant to think an employer will keep you on if you are off for 6 or more years on stress leave!
In order for one to keep their job the stress leave will have to be time limited in accordance with their employer’s sick policy and short and long term disability insurance, not for the duration of “court proceedings”. The insurance has standard blocks of time they calculate you should have off depending on your illness. You would also go for frequent reassessments by a specialist to monitor your improvement.
Advising a client to go on stress leave (6-20+ years) for court proceedings is ludicrous!

I’m not saying what he did is right but doctors don’t just write people off and if he has benefits through his employer for sick leave, he would have to prove to them this was doctors orders. Hopefully he can deal with his stress and get back to work

Some policies pay out as long as you are disabled until age 65.
