Why This Guide Matters:
I'm a qualified employment solicitor with 20+ years of experience handling disability discrimination and unfair dismissal cases.
Long-term sickness dismissals are where employers most commonly get it catastrophically wrong - and where employees lose out on significant compensation because they didn't understand their protections.
The difference between a lawful and unlawful dismissal could be worth £10,000-£50,000+ in tribunal compensation.
This guide shows you exactly what your employer must do, what they cannot do, and when they've crossed the legal line.
