Worker Alleges Unfair Dismissal After Hospitalization for Fever

A worker claims to have been unfairly dismissed from their job after being hospitalized with a fever. The employee, who reportedly worked over 60 hours weekly, received a message from their employer stating they could no longer come to work, as the employer, being self-employed, could not afford to have sick staff. The worker, who was still in the hospital, responded by asserting their legal rights and declaring their intent to pursue legal action. "I am still in the hospital, tomorrow I will send the papers here on WhatsApp for your management and to communicate that as I have been ill for two days and in the hospital it is illegal to dismiss a worker, and they have not even discharged me, I will proceed legally as necessary, a worker has their rights, never forget it," the worker stated in the message. The incident raises questions about employer responsibilities and worker protections in the face of illness.
