4 weeks notice at work but I'm ill

Emmzi

Rose, do you want to go back to work when you are feeling better, or do you want to resign? What you do next depends on what you want the outcome to be.

You are quite right Emmzi. I apologise if I have used the phrase 'labelled'.

My sister in law is an employment Law Solicitor (it runs in the family!) and she is completely blind. Of course it impinges on her every day life, but she certainly gives everything she does her very best shot and she has a very successful career, a lovely baby boy and a very loving husband.

Re: Roses. My view is that if your employer is not very switched on (and to insist you work 4 weeks notice despite being aware you may be too unwell to do so implies that they may not be) if you were to say 'You have made my employment untenable and i feel compelled to leave, though I dont want to' may open up discussions with them in order to get to some resolution for you, one way or another.

You appear to be suggesting that the OP has a case for constructive dismissal. Is this the route you suggest?

(This is getting more ridiculous with every post!)

Hon, I know you are getting a tough welcome to MSE and I do not want to add to it. In fairness we all get a hard time from time to time - mine is usually for being the "right on feminist" in threads on acceptability of office banter.

But what you have said above is somewhat like

"I knew a gay man once and he was ok."

It comes from a place of disability = less, as opposed to disability = other.

Please, please do not comment on marginalised communities if you haven't learned what it is ok and not ok to say. Your SIL may well be humouring you for the sake of the family! And for the love of all things don't go near a discrimination case in court until you've got the hang of it.

You are not kidding I am having a hard time on this forum.

Why is everyone so eager to knock me down? What on earth have I done on this forum that has caused ill feeling?

If the OP has over 12 months service and feels she has been forced to resign, you are damn right she may well have a case for Constructive dismissal. Or are you going to say that is wrong too?

Emmzi - I did know a gay man once and he was OK. I also knew another gay man, and he was an aggressive arrogant twit.

I also know other disabled people who are rude and unpleasant.

How many constructive dismissal claims have you won? For that matter, how many constructive dismissal claims get anywhere at all?

My concern with your posts is that you claim to be a specialist in this area, but much of your advice has been fundamentally flawed. Whilst this is an open forum and people will not always give the correct information, for someone to hold themselves out as having expertise to get it so wrong is extremely concerning, and downright dangerous to those who may follow your "advice".

As you will be aware it's very very hard to prove, very hard to win, AND she would have to have exhausted internal processes first.

So before going down that route it would be wise to see what the OP would like to get out of the situation.

Why would the OP have any grounds for constructive dismissal? he/she is on the sick with a bad back and has told the employer they wont be back due to being unable to do the job anymore, why is this the employers fault? i mean this is the second time in a few months that they have resigned so the employer is probably fed up with them. (i say he/she here because on this thread people refer to the OP as a she and on other threads its a he)
