Psoriasis Gate Cont. Notice Period & Grievance

53 replies

PeachQueen · 09/05/2019 09:01

I posted a thread in March re my workplace and how I came back off holiday & my manager called me to a room and advised that 2 colleagues had complained about my skin condition (Psoriasis) & I was asked to move desk due to 'flakes' getting in their bags & clothes.

Anyway long story short I have been moved desks to the end of the row and I am now totally isolated from the team, nobody talks to me and the two that complained dont utter a word.

I have been ill constantly since the conversation and as with the nature of Psoriasis it has flare up due to all the stress. I no longer want to be here as its a horrid situation.

So in my review last week my manager mentioned I hadnt been myself and not so happy and what was up [shocked] I explained re the above and that I am finding it difficult/isolated and wanted something said/done - his solution was to tell me I can work from home permanently.

So I have decided to leave, spoke to my manager and asked what the notice period was due to all of the above and he is going to speak to HR this morning and see if I can finish next Thursday.

So my question being is - will I still get paid for the 4 weeks or not? My DH says they are legally bound to pay me the 4 weeks & if they don't then to raise a grievance.....?!

Any ideas?

Hi @PeachQueen

As a fellow flaker I was berated by our IT department this morning for the state of my keyboard as I'd called them in to fix a completely different problem. I've even been online and ordered an areosol of compressed air to blast underneath the keys from time to time as I was so embarrassed. It's not nice having an unacknowledged minor disability causing problems like this.

It made me think of your situation again and I was wondering how things are for you currently ?

If the situation has been made so intolerable that you feel that you have no other option but to leave, you will have a very good case for constructive dismissal. Do see your union rep or solicitor.

Good luck, OP. I would get the other thread deleted ASAP. You never know who is reading here and your don't need then to know anymore.
