I honestly just need to rant about this as it's pissed me off a lot.
At the beginning of April I dislocated my knee and was placed in a full leg cast that heavily restricted my mobility, the doctors then recommended 5 weeks off of work for recovery as the chance to redislocate my knee is very high now that I've done it once. I then informed my boss and all was well.
Roughly 2 weeks later I get a call informing me I've been terminated as they can't have someone off work for multiple weeks at a time no matter the circumstances.
Sadly I had the position via a staffing agency which in the UK means I have very little to no right as an employee so I'm unable to dispute it or have any sort of legal rights.
