I Cant Breathe
|
Basically i get a lot of overnights and i cant sleep in the day and it has been making me very ill, so i went to see my doctor who said my health isnt great at the moment and he gave me a doctors note to say i can not do overnights but im worried that as ive only been at this job for 5 and a half months they will get rid of me but would they be legally allowed?

I don't think they can sack you if you have a Doctor's note especially if you are doing more nights than you are contracted to.
As long as you are still doing contracted hours then they can't really complain. |

if your contract says you are expected to do night work and your sick note says no more night work, then you are not able to fulfill your part of the contract for the foreseeable future. If they have people queuing up for jobs, why should they keep you?

You need everything in writing, its you word against theirs at the moment, if you have passed your probationary period then I would say you can't be sacked though as others have said if it is in the contract that you work at the discretion of your manager or something they can let you go I guess, citizens advice is the place to take this

שטח זה להשכרה

Like everyone's said it's all down to what's in your contract... and bear in mind you cannot amend a written contract with a verbal one, so what they've said since your contract counts for nothing if it contradicts the contract. What does your contract say about sick leave?
If they did sack you, you will only be able to claim unfair dismissal if you've worked there for two years or more, with certain exceptions. Lack of sleep is serious. They use it as torture. |

They might be able to transfer you over to another team since they need a valid reason to get rid of you if nights are a problem and as long as you are covered by a doctor's note then they shouldn't be able to get rid.
