> But, the tribunal heard, a former colleague had spotted him wearing a pair of „work boots“ and reported him to their superiors.
Friendly reminder that colleagues aren’t friends. This person should have minded their own damn business.
do you even have to disclose the reason of the sick leave to the employer in UK?
_“surveillance company called Mike India Five Ltd“_
😅
This shit is why im afraid to even go to the store when sick… i’ve seen people question any form of movement from people when they’ve called in sick numerous times.
I live in Canada, I was off work waiting for back surgery, company hired surveillance people to see if I was actually unable to work. Company was aware of what surgery I was waiting for and still decided to send snoops out. Had my surgery and made sure my rehab and recovery allowance was completely used up before going back on light duties… yep waited until that period was over as well before I returned to full time, fuck em !
„What followed was a six-year legal battle, with Jones being supported by the Unite trade union.“ ..right there, why you should be in a union.
I got once fired for not being at home on sick leave. Boss had rang a bell and since i wasn’t home he left a note telling me i’m fired. I was away for an hour, walked 50m to a bus stop and then at the other end 50m to a music shop, bought a guitar and caught the bus going the other direction.
It almost went to court, he also tried to keep my wages… The company was bankrupt in three months, he was just looking for an excuse to fire people. Glad that i had family friends who got really upset and called their lawyer, i was 16 so i didn’t know shit about my rights, i thought that you could just fire people like that.
