Sacked For Being Off On Sick

[dieseldick]

had bad accident yesterday in work , went to hospital etc, now going to be off i think at least few weeks or more, problem is i just started job in dublin 4 weeks ago, so im still on probationary period.

boss also called me yesterday whilst i was in A&E and asked me to call back into work after i finished with hospital xrays etc to make a statement of accident , i blew a gasket and we had an argument , i told him where to go.

now workmates are feeding me all kinds of stories , the company will get rid of me etc. its a bif multi national company , what is the likely outcome to all this.

i told boss im claiming against the client not " him or my company "

Hope you haven't got a mortgage yet as its not looking good for your job!
He has to get a statement off you for H&S report, going by your attitude on here is it possible your former boss was reacting to your aggressive manner?

Bazile, some might say that adding untruths to angry outbursts might not be a good idea.

You seem to be your own worst enemy, Dick. If the HSA are involved, then I'd suggest you get in touch to give your version of events asap, relaying your conversations about chains of command etc. I'm not at all familiar with Irish law and your rights in this situation but I think you need to find out.

The 2 year law only applies to straightforward unfair dismissal claims. If you have a discrimination claim or a whistleblowing claim (which this could be) then there is no qualifying period of time to be employed. Company needs to be careful of dismissing you if you make a protected disclosure. Advice from someone who knows - return to work, apologise for inappropriate behaviour (but you can mitigate), say you want to continue to work there and make the accident report. It may be that you have a PI claim but you should not discuss that with the company but take advice from CAB if you're not in a union.
