@bellethelawyer: 🚨 You can dismiss an employee because of sickness absence. What you can’t do is assume dismissal is inevitable just because they’ve exceeded your attendance trigger. That’s the mistake this employer made, and it cost them almost £38,000. #EmploymentLaw #UKLaw #EmploymentTribunal #HR #WorkplaceRights

38,000 is a small price to pay vs paying someone for never being in 🤷🏻‍♀️

3 sick days in 2 years due to genuine medical emergencies, I’m on final warning one more sick day and I’m sacked so this is false hope they absolutely can just tick the box and sack you lol

She must have had a good lawyer 😅, some people really take the p*ss with sicknesses. As manager you have to show multiple proofs of support

It shouldn’t matter. If they cannot do the job it’s irrelevant what the underlying cause is.

This happened to me also. The senior nurse on the panel said ( despite the medical evidence to the contrary ) she didn’t think I was going to get better.
