Do I have to hand in my resignation if my boss asks me to I suffer with anxiety and depression panic attacks? |
i have been suffering with mental health ever since the birth of my daughter and the death of both parent's anxiety and depression as got no better from day one i can not go out on my own, some one as to take me two and from school every day this is the only time i go out apart from when my husband takes me food shopping and now i have been told i need a oparation for carpal tunnel i loved my job i worked hard i was never off i have never had a penny from my works from finishing my maturnity leave to going on the sick i was told that i could not get it as i was on maturnity leave priyer going on sick leave and now they are asking me to resighn No, you don't have to resign! I have no idea what kind of company you work for, but nobody has any right to ask you to resign just because you are ill. Just because you had just come back from maternity leave does not mean that you lose your entitlement to sick pay! It seems to me that you suffer from depression, anxiety, agoraphobia,etc., you need psychiatric help, and need to give your employer sick notes for all of the time you are off work. See your GP first. The NHS are perfectly capable of treating you. I worked for BT, when I was suddenly struck by the same illness as you have. They went to the extent of sending me to a Harley St Specialist, and when I didn't seem to get better,sent me to see one of the top doctors in the world, at the University of London, Institute of Psychiatry. They were unable to help me after several months of treatment. BT then offered ,and granted me a lifelong, and generous pension at the age of 36, I'm 56 now and living comfortably, with constant medication of course. Do not let yourself get bullied, tell your boss to go to hell, and sack you, thankfully there are laws in the UK, and your employees won't know what hit them if they either sack you or intimidate you. See the Citizens Advice people, and make sure you follow their advice. You are not living in the Wild West. I hope you get better, and all the best. Remember no one can stamp on your rights. Before you give your boss any resignation you need to check out your rights! Post-partum depression is a medically recognized condition, depression is too. Check with your extended health plan (if there is one), to see what is covered, and also if you are unionized, be sure to talk to union reps. Often, bosses are just looking at cutting costs, they don't consider the rights of the individual, nor the responsibility that the company has (or should have) to provide any assistance availalble. Get your hubby or a trusted co-worker to help you look into this - and Best wishes - sounds like you got walloped with a lot of stuff all at once. You need people near you to support you while you get yourself sorted out. Good luck and God Bless. Go to the citizens advice bureau; I think you're work are in the wrong. I hope you feel better soon. I couldn't understand your writing. me wait a minute here, this is all rubbish, you really do need to consult someone with experience in unfair dismissal. You do not say who you work for but if it is a reasonable sized company they will have a occupational health department. No one can ask you to leave - they cannot sack you which is why they are trying to pressure you into resigning. As for getting no sick pay this sounds fishy. Go and speak to citizens advice if you do not have an occupational health department. You are being discriminated against and bullied for you condition. This is illegal, there is legislation against this. I don't know whether mental health falls under the DDA (Disability discrimination Act) but you can seek advice through the citizens advice or consult a solicitor who specialises in employment issues (first consultation is usually free). Do not sit back and let your work do this to you - you are ill just as if someone who had broken a leg or been for a serious operation. seek advice good luck and sending you kind thoughts.x No you are not required to resign. No company can instruct you to end your employment under any circumstance. Resignation is ALWAYS your choice. They 'could' fire you, but then they have to follow labour law that protects your rights. Basically they can't fire you if your work record is good, you have no disciplinary warnings, and you are genuinely ill. So the only way they can 'get rid of you' is to persuade you to resign. Don't do it! You are entitled to time off to get better. |
