to reduce my pay. I also felt, after the disappointing way I was treated by HR that morning, that they were using the reduction in pay to try to force me back to work but without any measures being taken to improve my work environment. This email from Emma Horwood showed that there was no empathy for my suffering at HR. Maybe they believed that I was faking my sickness or something like that. Again I had that feeling that they were just waiting for the problem to go away, me leaving the company seemed to be an option that was OK for them. In any case till then absolutely nothing had been done to effectively stop the bullying.

187. The email I received from Emma Horwood:
Hi Bart,
Thank you for dropping your medical certificate in to HR today.
I wanted to drop you an email to let you know of the payroll implications for April.
As you know, Statutory Sick Pay is paid at 10 days full pay, 20 days half pay and then onto zero pay in any 12 month rolling period. Your absence for the period 12th to 19th March was processed in March payroll and of the 6 days absent from work, 3 of those were processed at half pay as you have exhausted your full pay allowance.
Your absence for the period 20th March to 9th April will be processed at half pay. On checking your rota, this is a total of 15 days and as such the deduction stands at £576.92 (day rate of £76.92 * 15 * 0.5).
Should you have any questions in this regard, please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards,
Emma


188. On 3rd April 2018 I sent another reminder email to Stefan Kalcher for the Business Analyst role I had applied for on 13th February 2018, over a month and a half ago. On 6th April 2018 I also sent a reminder e-mail to Noemie Levy. This application was going on for a long time now, much longer than originally indicated as initially there seemed to be some hurry. This delay worried me as more and more people were leaving the Dutch/Flemish team and I would soon have become the only experienced person still around in that team. My fear was that the management and HR were scheming behind my back to find a way to keep me in the team to train the new people that inevitably would be needed. Such a
