I'm sorry I don't buy that !! Before jumping into conclusion, read previous posts and I bet you're not a lawyer neither.
Most comments don't take into consideration the law and almost every one is giving their personal opinion, which mostly has no base or based on facts, just what they think might be right or what they heard from a friend of friend. Apart from few who really helped and shaped the idea.
If the union rep is involved in this, then he isn't playing a game, he's stitching you up. I'm certain of that.0 -

Now you are on sick leave, and for three months on a first fit note is highly questionable no matter what your condition, your employer only has to pay you sick pay - probably SSP - instead of full pay. The client gets their new security person. It's highly unlikely they'll now take you back once they've broken in a new person for three months. One who doesn't doze off on reception. And the employer now gets a really good crack at you being dismissed for reasons of capability, which is an easy dismissal after three months off sick. That's assuming they don't go to disciplinary as well.

I was off sick for 7 months, two years ago and I went back and they brought no one. It's common sense they'd not bring anyone in, until a decision being made at the hearing. They know (Oh God, how many times I have to say that) I have a disability.0 -
Lol not a lawyer but spent three years on Employment Law as part of my Masters and more than 10 years in HR practice so I think I know a bit more than you.
Admit that you may have been struggling to stay awake, apologise and promise to not to come to work if you are not able to perform...and you might keep your job.
Play games and take the consequences.
I was not asleep !! Are you crazy? Why would I take blame? You may have master's degree, but your suggestions is bias0 -

Show me a screen shot of your master's degree !! And 10 years experience in HR. You have no clue, I'm sorry0 -
I'm sorry but this thread is getting out of control and hope an Admin can close this thread.
I'm all set, I have the support I need. I don't need trolls.
Thank you0 -
So basically you have been told stuff you don't want to hear by people who know what they are talking about and you, who asked for that advice, are going to insult them?0
