I've been off on sick leave because of stress at work. Now that I am to return I have asked my employer to allow me to work in a different area. He doesn't want me to return to work and has asked me to give him a letter of resignation. If I don't he told me he has no choice but to fire me. The company is closing down for the winter and I would be laid off within two weeks of returning and my employer won't agree to just giving me an early lay off either. Should I sign the letter of resignation?
You should not resign because if you do you would lose your termination entitlements. The medical leave, potential layoff and pressure put on you to resign constitute a complicated scenario and what you do or say can be used against you by your employer. You need legal advice in your dealings with your employer so I encourage you to contact us at the number below as soon as possible.
