I have been working with my company in senior management for over 10 years. Last year I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung cancer and my oncologist does not want me to work until the cancer is under control (which it is not)
I can understand that the company can not keep paying my salary and I am not working. Yesterday the CEO said if I resign, he will pay me a R40,000 bonus as well - but will rehire me once my doctor gives the go ahead.
Financially I can not afford to resign - what are my rights? Should they not put me on disability? And how does that work in terms of payment. I am a member of Labour Protect, but can not get through to any telephone numbers on this site (tried since yesterday)
alternatively you could email us at admin@labourprotect.co.za
With regards to your rights in short resigning is not the best option as you cannot approach the CCMA to dispute an unfair labour practice at a later stage.
You will have to be medically boarded, the company must have a policy in place if not we can assist you.
