    Hi All. I know that while I'm on Illness Benefit, my employer can not fire me from work or to give me P45. But what's about if I want to finish my job while I'm on Illness Benefit? Can I give my employer notice, that I'm finishing work now while I'm on Illness Benefit? I have broken leg so next 3 months I'll be on Illness Benefit and my friend told me that in 3 months they are opening new department and with my experience they'll take me. I'm with company 6 years so there is few weeks notice time. I just want to start working on new place ASAP. So can give my notice to my current employer? Is it legal? Thank you.

    First of all your boss can most certainly fire you while your out sick, being on Illness Benefit doesn't make any difference.
    Your sick cert explains your absence but it doesn't excuse it.
    You can most certainly give in your notice while on Illness Benefit. The best way to do this is by post asking your employer to accept your notice effective immediately and requesting any holidays due to you to date and your P45.
    This will allow them to give your job to someone else ASAP
    You must keep sending SW interim certs in to SW to maintain your entitlement to Illness Benefit
