Your plan looks reasonable to me, but you should be allowed to cut back if its too much, you don't want to relapse, and surely neither does your employer want you to. I agreed the following because it takes 45 mins drive to work and 45 back to home:

5hr day In the first week.
2 x 5hrs 2nd week.
2 x 5hrs and 1 x 8hr 3rd week - just done this.
3 x 8hrs 4th week.

I will then agree another part time 4 week plan, possibly moving upto full time during this.

I think what works depends on the individual, I hope it works for you. Expect to be tired, but you will gain confidence and strength the more you do. Good luck with your return!

Poetrymom - you have to do this gradually, all or nothing is very unreasonable of HR, and to ask this is very unrealistic.
