I just got fired

[Catherine50]

Ive been fired for being iff work for 3 weeks with supporting mefical certificates.

The really ironic thing is I work for a doctor's surgery !!!!

[Galixie]

That's awful! I'm so sorry for their idiocy.

Have you been in contact with citizens advice - or got legal advice on whether the dismissal is valid. Are a number of variables - including how long you had been employed but it really does seem unfair.

I am so sorry to hear that. I would agree that it is worth contacting an agency or advocate. I am in the U.S., so I don't know your system. Here we have the Bureau of Labor and Industry or attorneys. I want encourage you to find out what your rights are and stand you got them! Best of luck to you!

[ndodge]

Sorry for all the typos! My smart phone has a mind of its own! Meant stand up for your rights.

Did your GP follow the guidelines with your treatment as mentioned in your earlier thread. If not then surely you have a concrete case. It may be a good idea to e-mail Martyn Hooper at the Pernicious Anaemia Society for advice.....

Hi,

I wondered if any of these links might be helpful.

I worry about losing my job...(only do a few hours) because I keep making mistakes so I'm going to look up the "Equality Act".

So sorry to hear this. Are you in a union?

[Maxfactor1]

So sorry to hear this has happened to you!

What a wonderful country we live in??!! 😏

I think you will find its actually illegal?!

We have a young woman that works at the company I do and she is always off sick with her complaint and she got a reduction in her hours!

It might be worth Persuing this.

Good luck x

Here is a link to the Citizens Advice website. citizensadvice.org.uk

They also operate a telephone adviceline and an 'open door' policy so you can go along and speak to an advisor. The open hours are limited so check with your local branch.

If you feel you haver been discriminated against because of your illness the CAB will be able to help you.

Good luck.
