Would this be moral?

Hi,
I'm burnt out and have a mental disability. I need to take some time off and deal with both these and issues from childhood. These childhood issues are being worked on at the moment with a professional.

I think I should be able to get disability benefit and am going to talk to my doctor this week about it. I have been paying taxes every month for the last few years.

My position could be taken up by someone I know who has the experience so I think he is the only man for the job. He really wants the position and I have the opportunity to give it to him.

Would it be moral to ask him a monthly payment from his salary in return for giving him the opportunity, just for a certain time period maybe? Therefore we would both benefit from it or this a horrible thing to ask someone?

I'm a catholic and will need confirmation if I was ever to go ahead with something like this. I might also consult a priest on this as well.

Thanks.

No. It would certainly not be the right thing to do.

Not only would it not be moral, it may well be illegal... see "extortion" above.

Are you even in a position to offer this job to your friend? Do you have a boss, who might like to interview other candidates? Or who may decide, not to replace you immediately?

People who go on sick leave, must make do with illness / disability benefit (whatever it's called these days). People who go on such leave CANNOT ask their replacement to make up the difference for them.

Where/how did you get such an idea?

Unacceptable, slightly fantastical and totally illegal OP.

OMG you are so scabby!!! If a ''friend'' ever said to me ''you can have my job cause im leaving, but you need to give me some of your wage since i got you the job'' I'd tell them to stuff it.
seriously, and coming from a catholic? JAYSUS.
