can they sack you for that? im a supervisor and there is loads you have to do these days to sack some unless its some thing really bad. you cant sack someone for needing 4 weeks off

I was thinking that as well?

im sure he could fight that or even take them to court. even if he was off sick alot you still have to go through all the different warnings before they can sack him

This is what i fort, i even phoned customer service to see what was going on, Plus what i can do,

But all i got told was, If your ill and cant stick to your full time hours because of an medical condition the employer has the right to end you contract,

So i am in a right mess because of it, As i cant do nothing because of this health problem, till i have my opp then i will be healthy again i hope LOL

Could you not book the 4 weeks as holiday??

Good luck with your search mate and if it makes you feel any better I will boycott Halfrauds.

seek advice mate. they cannot do that. citizens advice is the best place to start.

depends if you are in probation period . they can get rid of you for no reason i believe . check contract be the best bet

probation period makes it easier for them. if they have sighted time off that you require to get over an operation as the reason to dismiss you then that is not acceptable, even on probation.

good luck.

Repeated absence, explained or otherwise,is grounds for a sacking. But in your case it does seem very harsh, as a 4 week sickness period still only counts as one sickness period, they same as being sick for one day. I suspect something else is happening here...
