Hi,..A friend of mine gained employment with a company approx 3yrs ago,..the application form had the usual questions about health & asked for details of any illness or disability the applicant might have & all details of her disability were supplied to the employer,..2yrs on the her disability had worsened to such an extent that she found it difficult to attend work on a full 5 day week basis,.luckily her employer had just introduced a part time work system which she applied for & was accepted on to a 18hr working week,Mon,Tue & half day Wed,.. 1 yr on from this & her condition had got worse & she began missing days from work again,.she was asked to attend a meeting with the company doctor which she did,..the doctors report to the company stated that the disability was such that some days from work due to painful flair ups should be expected & beyond the employees control,..awhile later she was called to another meeting with her supervisor,..the supervisor commented on her sick record & stated that this level of absenteeism was not sustainable going forward,...some weeks later whilst out sick my friend informed her employer that she wanted to finish working for the company & asked what she needed to do next,..a few days later the company contacted her & told her she had to come in to work give a months notice in writing & sign leaver details,..she informed the company that her pain was so intense that she was unable to move about or drive & was told that they understood her situation & that to forget about the months notice & leaver details & added they would post her p45 & any holiday pay she was due.
A month later the company's UK head office sent her a letter stating that due to an overpayment she owed a months wages to the company & requested she repay this to the company bank account asap,...no talk of any holiday pay.
She has contacted her former employer here in Galway to find out how exactly she has come to owe the company a months wages but they have been quite vague in their response & in one case on the phone were my friend persisted in getting a clear answer they hung up & later said they did this because she shouted at them !!.
The company pay monthly salaries in advance & throughout all her broken absenteeism she had supplied medical certs from her doctor or consultant in a timely manner except for the last month which she supplied after she had left the company & we can only guess this is why the company are trying to recoup the months wages buy as I said they will not clarify this with her.
The latest is that 3 weeks ago she sent by registered post a medical cert covering her last period of illness & requested her holiday pay but as yet she has not had a reply from the company,...any advise would be most welcome,...
