where does the law stand on critically ill empoyees?

My friend is critically ill in hospital, even if he recovers, it will a long slow road.
Has been with the company 6 months. Has been told he will be paid up until next month, after that it will be SSP.
Is this standard practise? can anything be done to help the situation?

He may have some rights. Typically laws such as FMLA only apply when you've been with a company at least a year. You also have other contractual matters you would want to look at. I think it would be hard for a company to terminate the employment based on his being sick and needing to be in the hospital due to the potential to also bring a discrimination case - this is where I would go. You really need your friend to talk to an attorney. |

It sounds normal for an average UK company to do that. Some will have policies in place to provide additional income but this is unlikely to kick in after just 6 months. |

I am so very sorry to hear about your friend.
It all depends on his terms and conditions of employment - his contract with his firm. I'm very much afraid that he's not legally entitled to anything more than what is set down in that.
Has he got critical illness cover to claim against?
Sorry I can't help.
Take care and best wishes. |
