    Refusal of Flexible Working & Appeal Queries

    Employee on 'light duties' - obligations/legalities

    Thanks Bri, We have had no valid sick certificate as his latest periods of sickness have not been over 3/4 days and therefore unpaid. We will be having a meeting but I would like to go into it 'eyes open' knowing what our & his rights are beforehand
