Mandatory training while on upaid leave
Discussion
Hypothetical situation:
I am on unpaid maternity leave, can my employer insist I have to come in to the office to undertake mandatory training that has to be completed by all employees by a specific date?
The training is available on line (intranet) all year round because new employees have to take it within a couple of weeks of starting. They've implemented a new regime where everyone else has to do it by mid-June or face disciplinary proceedings.
My laptop was left at work when I went on leave so I can't do it from home.
People on paid leave can complete the training when they come back to work.
Is my employer: right; wrong; stupid; breaking the law?
