I can kind of understand that one - he's obviously making some stupid references to her Irish background.However if you're off sick for 16 weeks how on earth can you complain about not being included on a LinkedIn post congratulating those people who haven't been off sick?

Difficult for the boss as the tribunal mentioned. Talk to some people on sick leave and they feel harassed, don't and some feel excluded. borcy said:

Not referring to this case, but yes - it's quite tricky to navigate this in companies. I had one member of staff off for two years - I couldn't replace her and had to include her on every memo/email. It was too risky, legally, to do anything about it. There is also the somewhat grey area of supposedly having a duty of care - even if someone is at their own home.How about this one?

A leading cancer hospital has been ordered to pay more than £6,000 to an unsuccessful job applicant after she complained her anxiety affected her ability to give concise answers under pressure...
...Ms Rezaei had ticked 'I do not wish to disclose my disabilities' on the equal opportunities section of her application form. She told the panel she had selected this in error.
...The tribunal noted that Ms Rezaei had provided no medical evidence that her anxiety had affected her performance and had not requested any special arrangements when invited to do so during the interview booking process.
Ms Rezaei, who represented herself at the three-day hearing in London, was awarded £6,000 compensation for injury to feelings, plus £840 interest and £880 in preparation costs - a total of £7,720.

Unless there is more to it than is being reported how do you win as employer in that scenario?Don't include someone because they're off ill and you legitimately believe contacting them about work matters would cause them additional stress and worry and it's caused them additional stress and worry.
Do include someone even though they're off ill and you risk them complaining that having you contact them about work matters has caused them additional stress and worry.
I don't get that.

I see a fulltime job in this. Injury to feelings? FFS. I'm going to apply to every job available just to not get interviews.
FTFY, you can claim compo for every unsuccessful application. 
Christ, don't post that kind of thing on a public forum. You'll give people ideas.Edited by Hoofy on Saturday 14th March 11:20

Sounds like the hospital was being penalised for not having decent records. She lost on two out of three grounds. She’ll already be on ~£100K in her current job so winning £6K isn’t a big deal.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15617803/...
