Petition Details

The Government should make it illegal for employers to sack someone for taking sick leave when they have been signed off work by a doctor.

Additional Information

If you have seen your doctor and they give you a medical note telling you you are unfit to work then employers should not be able to terminate your employment because of this.

I feel it is unfair to be relieved of your duties if someone in a medical profession had told you that you are unfit for work.
