ACtually the first poster is correct.
You are unable to be fired whilst you are signed off sick with a doctors note. Once you're off sick completely legit.. you are in a sense, invincible.
I know, cos i used this against a former employer when they tried to make me a scape goat in an attempt to keep a contract even though id done nothing wrong. I won £7000 from them in an out of court settlement.
