Possible Sacking

[DAIR]

A friend of mine took a week off sick a while back. On one of those days he was invited to an interview.

The following day he going into work and is questioned about his whereabouts. Apparently, his managers received news of the interview. And as a result have suspended my friend from work. Pending investigation.

Something doesn't seem right here. The only people who could've tipped his current employer off. We're those who interviewed him. Now of this is the case, what right do they have to be disclosing someone else's business?

Is this even legal?

This isn't true, an interview is generally 30-90mins and a work shift more like 8hrs.
He dragged himself to the interview didn't he, but wasn't well enough to do a shift and self certified. That's probably how i'd play it. Well actually I would just get union to advise.

Well this is what I hope he said. I've not been able to speak to him yet.

LOL it most definitely is not me.

Im afraid he hasn't even been there a year. And I too believe he'll be asked to move on.
