What are my rights.....?
|
I have been suffering for the last 6 years with irritable bowel syndrome. I occasionally have to take time off from work due to my symptoms and It has now become an issue with my employer. I am and have always been receiving treatment from my doctor and I do my best to treat the condition through that and my diet but occasionally I do need to take a day off sick. My employer now wants me to attend a disciplinary due to being just over the amount of time you are able to have off sick. In the past they have always recognised that I have a condition and do my best to look after it and that I do not take liberties where it is concerned, but all of a sudden they require me to attend this and it could result in a written warning. Can they do this even though I have a medical condition? Thank in advance I know this is a long question! Thanks.

Unfortunately, while I sympathise with your condition - your employer has the right to ask you to attend a disciplinary hearing.
You will have been made aware when you first started of their limits for time off due to illness. Just because you made them aware of your problem at the outset - does not exempt you from being disciplined over excessive sick leave. |

Unfortunately, they have the rights to make you attend to the hearing. IBS is one of the top ten reasons of job loss in the UK. Although you have some rights that doesn't include extra time off. |

Yes they can do this. If you are missing too many days then they have the right to give you a warning. You were hired to do a job and that job is still there even tho you are not. Your medical condition is not a factor as it is not a disability. |
