Time Off Work For Anxiety
Anxiety can significantly affect your ability to work. It’s essential to understand your rights when it comes to taking time off work for anxiety. In the UK, employees are protected under the Equality Act 2010, which recognises anxiety as a potential disability if it impacts daily life.
If you’ve been denied time off, faced discrimination, or felt unsupported by your employer, our experienced employment lawyers are here to help. We specialise in workplace rights and can guide you through your options to ensure you receive the necessary support and fair treatment.
Anxiety And Time Off Work
Dealing with anxiety and time off work can be challenging, but may be necessary for your well-being. Employers are legally required to make reasonable adjustments for employees suffering from anxiety. This may include:
- Help employees stay at work, but enable taking time off to aid recovery if needed
- Help to negotiate time off
- Ensure there are reasonable adjustments
- Address discrimination related to mental health issues
- Support employees on their return to work
Mental health issues can be difficult to identify and may vary over time. Employers should prioritise mental health just as they do physical health.
