Hi i really need some advice as i have a feeling im going to be sacked on wed.
Basically i have worked for this company for 2 years and started back at work after having my son a month before my om leave ended.
I applied for a higher position and got it but was told i as on probation for 6 months as it was a different posiition
Anyway i became really ill and after 2 days of starting work i have been on the sick for 6 weeks due to stomach painsafter my c section still hasnt gone away. I am still undergoing loads of tests to find out whats causing this pain and i also have pnd but my dr has only but pelvic pain under investigation on my sick notes as i didnt want anyone at work knowing i had pnd.
Anyway i have received aletter from work asking me to attend a meeting as they are concerned about my illness and want to discuss my position.
I am worried they are going to sack me as i'm under 6 months prob and this position was created especially to get a shop back up to standard before an annual stocktake and this is next week so they are going to be pretty annoyed i am off sick.
I have tried looking up on internet if they can sack you if you are off on the sick and from what ive read it seems they can i never knew this.
I should add i have only been off sick for 5 days in my first year of employment with them and i have sick notes to cover the 6 weeks i have had off so i have been reliable and not off sick all the time.
Has anyone got any advise whether they can sack me or not as im worried sick that i ll lose my job
