[England] Can I be terminated from a new job because I need to have surgery?
I feel like the answer to this is yes, but I’m going to ask anyway to be sure.
Long story short, I’ve been on waiting list for a laparoscopy for almost a year now and I’ve been finally contacted for the procedure which will possibly happen in the next couple of weeks.
At the same time, I’ve finally been offered a job in my desired field after almost a year of sending CVs , and I’m supposed to start next week. That would mean taking 1 week off sick (suggested is at least two weeks but I can hopefully grin and bear it) right at the beginning of my new employment and still in probation.
So my question is: can my contract be terminated because of that?
