![]() In my resignation letter I asked how she wanted to handle notification of my departure and file handovers to ensure client service. My current boss was my referee so informing her of my resignation did not come as a surprise. I have resigned from my job for a position at a large organisation with a higher salary, better conditions and a role that better aligns with my personal interests. If you return to work and there has been any action taken against you, I would speak with a lawyer if you can, or else someone in your union if you happen to belong to one. You have a right to sick leave under the Fair Work Act and you can’t have any adverse action taken against you for being unable to work while on sick leave. Your employer is within their rights to contact you while you are on sick leave, but you are also within your rights not to respond to work-related matters. Your employer cannot expect you to do any work at home while you are on approved sick leave. Presumably if you were in a fit state to be answering work calls, you would be at work. If you are on approved sick leave with a medical certificate, you do not need to answer work calls. I am not a perpetual user of sick leave and work in a large blue-chip Australian company in a sales role with plenty of other colleagues to cover my responsibilities. During this time, the head of HR contacted me saying they expect me to have my company phone on and answer work calls on my sick days. I clearly advised my line manager that I would be off work the full week as I awaited medical clearance. Recently I had to call in sick for seven days. Your boss cannot force you to work when you’re sick.
