I’m taking my former employer to tribunal due to different forms of disability discrimination and unfair dismissal. They dismissed me for my sickness absences.
The vast majority of them were disability related and they refused to implement reasonable adjustments for me (in relation to their sickness and absence policy.)
They also did not seek up to date medical information prior to my dismissal and they did not look into redeployment, despite advertising suitable roles (for example an admin role when I have lots of experience of working in admin etc). They chose to dismiss me instead.
We’re right at the end now and are due to exchange our witness statements. It appears that they did not follow their own sickness and absence policy with me because they missed out the informal stage of their sickness and absence policy entirely and jumped straight to Stage 1 with me…
I had one OH assessment there and at the time of my dismissal, it was almost a year old. I was not offered another one after I had that.
Any employment lawyers or HR on here? Would love to hear your input.
