I was working for nestle south africa and had a terrible experience with them because I was sick I'm suffering from depression then I opened up to my manager then she told my colleagues that I was on a medication I was working rotational shifts I was not adhering to my medication as prescribed because I was working rotational shifts which was two morning shifts then followed by two afternoon shifts then followed by two night shift I couldn't take my medication as prescribed because when I was working rotational shifts because my medication is sedative it makes me sleep after taking them so my doctor recommended that they place me on a straight shifts then nestle hr send me to the company doctor which also recommended what my doctor recommended but they refused to put me permanently on straight shift I only worked few months then they took me back to rotational shifts when working night shifts I couldn't take my medication because after taking medication I would fall asleep because the medication is sedative so my condition became worse because of non adherence to medication I tried to speak to my manager then he told me that he is the boss and he got all the powers he's decision was final last year may they had send me to the doctor who was a specialist then he said due to the medication that I was I was not supposed to work on a machine or a moving conveyor which I was working on they didn't move me I worked there until this year beginning of November when they terminated my contract due to medical incapacity but the is a compony policy that say if employee is sick must be placed in a conducive environment but they didn't do that and there were people who were moved from one position to other without even advertising the post or doing the interview I told my hr manager that then she said I must not talk about other people because I got offended when my manager told my colleagues that I'm taking medication I did logged a complain about the manager but when they were doing the deciplinery they did call me it was only the superior the hr only called me and told me that they spoke to the manager and told the manager that what she did was wrong the manager apologized I didn't know which protocol to follow as I didn't have any information of the protocol of the employees right I was new at the working environment when the big bosses came they will tell me not to go for lunch before they pass where I was working the was a time where I clocked in at 06:45 and went for lunch only at 14:10 which was more than 7 hrs because the big bosses came to vist our site and had not passed where I was working and the machines were problematic it means if I went for lunch and the big bosses came were I was working they were going to see the mistakes of the line because it was a continuous run and a person who I relieving me was not properly trained that's what my bosses said I fell pregnant the doctor recommended that I must do a light duty but still they didn't remove me where I was working I was still doing the heavy duty I went back to the doctor he wrote another recommendation they didn't remove me also then I refused to lift something heavy when doing my job then the team leader had a problem with that luckily another team leader from another plant told my team leader that she was wrong and he won't allow that I do heavy duty on his presence because even the doctor's report was there the following year I fell pregnant I even did a miscarriage right inside the factory ok I have a lot of sad stories to write about is gonna take for ever ok to cut the story short in the beginning of November they terminated my contract to this day I'm still struggling to get my unemployment fund because on the forms they wrote that my contract was terminated due to illness so at Labour department where I was claiming my unemployment fund they told me that the is a form that a doctor who told them to terminate my contract that he must fill so the is no doctor who told them to terminate my contract I did explain that to nestle and I gave them department of Labour phone numbers they called me and told me that they called Labour department so they must Change the forms they given to me I must come and collect them last week Thursday on Wednesday they called me and said I must not come on thursday because the is a letter that they must write they will call me when they are done I had send the hr manager two messages she is not responding to me to this day I contacted the company that is our insurance company for provident fund to chech how far are they with my application they said nestle didn't send my documents to them to claim for me but I filled the forms with nestle and I contacted the hr she said she get back to me on thursday she didn't to this day I wrote her two messages she didn't respond
