Cheers dude, I'll make a note
Sounds to me like Bob's a **** taking git that I wouldn't like to work with... (But of course I don't know all the facts
)
They were not taking the ****, in the first instance, Bob tried to go back after two weeks ready to work as the original illness had lessened and was nearly back to normal. The manager said no and sent Bob away back to the docs to keep getting sick notes, for another unrelated illness, that wasn't a problem. This illness was made worse by not being allowed back to work, Bob tried countless times to come back after sick notes had expired but manger kept sending Bob away. Bob would have actually been fine if they let Bob back and get back into a routine without having to worry so much about the work situation. Eventually after persistence Bob was allowed back but manger wouldn't let Bob do anything and kept pawning Bob off to other departments. The manager is one of those ones that just doesn't listen to what your saying and says your wrong.
If they begrudgingly pay OP's annual leave they could try and claw back full sick pay by retrospectively reducing it to SSP, with a deduction, to some extent. Doubt this would be legal or possible mind.
Bob only gets SSP anyway so no worries there.
In all honesty I would tell Bob to do one . Been off sick for most of the year resigns and wants his statutory holiday pay ?
I understand the legality but I would just let him take me to a tribunal but yes to answer your question Bob is entitled to his Holiday pay on a pro-rate basis.
Sickness in the workplace is my bigggest hates in the world , and I'm going to say it ,it's normally women.
Thanks, Bob didn't really have much of a choice, the company has been messing around with Bob all year with various stuff, Bob felt that they had no choice but to resign.
I don't like when people don't show up sick either, however Bob's been sick a long while, probably a condition he can't control. Similar to my better half, can't work for way longer than Bob (she resigned until she's better), yet docs told her to get over her condition and basically not bother them anymore. But that's a different topic which I'm not gonna expand on.
Pretty similar situation to Bob, but would have been no issues though if they were let back to work initially. Constantly being sent away was making things worse, but manager didn't agree so kept sending them away anyway. After persistence Bob was eventually let back. Since then, Bob has just been trying to set things right with all the parties involved, but that is a very difficult task to do, especially so when the manager lies about certain things. The lastest sickness, the company kept bugging Bob to come in for a meeting. Bob was worried they might get sacked, so Bob resigned instead.
I've tried to keep it as generic as possible without going into specific details as it's not about me.
Thanks for all the inputs guys, I'll make some notes.
the Manager made Bob do evil things?
