  • If he resigns, they have to give him the statutory minimum notice period but whether this is the half sick pay that he has been receiving or not, I'm not sure.

    Try www.direct.gov.uk there is usually plenty of employment advice on there.
    You do have rights......but you still need common sense.

    If he resigns, he may be sanctioned if he is going to claim benefit.
    why doesnt he just hang on till he can return to wor or wait and let his employer dismiss him when and if.
    Its probably best in the long run.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    yep totally agree, hang on in there if you can. It may be that the company has some sort of pay off for people who are long term sick, a lot do. Is it just his job he wouldn't be able to do? Or would he be able to do some other sort of work with his condition?

    If he resigns he maybe sanctioned from benefits and have problems with PPI or other insurance policies, etc, as it would be a voluntary decision. He should not resign but wait until his employer takes action. If he does resign however he must state the reason as ill-health to keep the options at least partly open. Any pay due in the notice period would be as per contract, so if on half pay then it would be half pay unless it expires during the notice period.

    Depends on which of you is/was eligible for WTC and for what reason. It could stop altogether. Hope you have notified HMRC already as the household income has already dropped and so should have been reassessed. Depending on the household income and composition (children, etc), do not write off any benefits that you could be eligible for.

    Do take careful advice on this before he considers resigning.

    In almost all circumstances it is best not to resign on health grounds. Sit tight and let the firm make all the moves.

    Remember also that he continues to accrue paid holiday even when on unpaid sick leave. So the firm has to pay him in full for at least 5.6 weeks per year while he remains on the staff.

    Morally if you are not going to work for the company again then you are right to resign and not be a burden on the company....however as I am sure Uncertain will say that Morals do not pay the bills and if it is part of the contract then you are entitled to it (is he entitled to half pay forever or for only a certain period of time?)
    Always ask ACAS
