@people.problems.solved: Replying to @nesbethfamilytales "They can't sack me while I'm off sick..." I hear this all the time. And it's one of the biggest myths in employment law. 👀 Being off sick doesn't create a protective bubble around your job. ⚖️ Yes, you can be dismissed while you're on sick leave. But the real question is... Why are you being dismissed? If it's because of misconduct, redundancy, capability or another potentially fair reason, the employer may still be able to dismiss you. What they can't do is ignore a fair process simply because you're absent. 🚩 They should still: ✔ investigate properly ✔ consider medical evidence where appropriate ✔ make reasonable adjustments if required ✔ consult with you ✔ give you the opportunity to have your say Being off sick doesn't remove your employment rights. And it doesn't remove your employer's responsibilities either. The fact that a dismissal happened during sickness isn't what decides whether it's fair. The reason for the dismissal and how the employer reached that decision are what really matter. 💡 #employeerights #hradvice #dismissal #terminationofemployment #employmentlawuk
