Can I resign while on sick leave?

A resignation in unpressurised circumstances will deprive you of certain welfare benefits for up to 6 months.
If you have another job lined up, or can depend on the support of friends and family this may not be a problem.
If you are resigning due to the unreasonable behaviour of your employer you can argue that your resignation was forced. You could say that an employee is not expected to accept the treatment you received and that a reasonable employer would not have behaved in the way your employer did with you. A resignation in these circumstances is called a constructive dismisal.
If constructive dismissal is the reason for your resignation you can still resign and be entitled to welfare benefits.
It would be in your interests to let your employer know now that the root cause of your illness is the treatment they subjected you to and your fear that if you return it will continue.0 -

I think I'm going to try and get another sick note, with everything that's going on in my family now I don't think the GP will refuse.
I sent in my second sick note to work this morning and haven't heard anything from them at all. You'd think they'd at least give me a quick call or email seeing as this is my 6th week off and I'm signed off for another 4!! Weird.
Nevermind. Thanks again for all your replies
Can I suggest you change your username if that is your real name0 -

I work as an HR manager for a very large company. If i was you bring a formal grievance in writing to the trustees they have to investigate. In writing what u want and whats been going on. Factual no emotion.0
