I lost my dad recently and it has hit me hard and my mental health is really bad and I feel I need to be signed off work for a few weeks to deal with everything that's happened and start to process it.
My problem is I'm agency work, so I don't believe I can be signed off work and paid. I'm happy to leave and accept the lose of wage and manage short term on UC. I get UC as I'm a single parents and not sure if I will get my benefits stopped as I decided to leave.
Going back to my job after a period of absence isn't an option as they will need to replace me ASAP and I'm certain they would do that as they have shown no loyalty to me. I also believe my job is also really effecting my mental health as they've been awful to work for. I don't believe I'll have any issues finding another job in a few weeks time when I'm in a better headspace.
