Good morning Team. We have been receiving hundreds of messages | National Education United

Good morning Team. We have been receiving hundreds of messages from people who have had their medical exemptions rejected. You may recall we never explored this as an option and never gave advice on it as it was a personal choice.

We didn't feel strongly about it as we still had to fight the mandates and anything else they were throwing at us. We now see that they have no regard for exemptions which has left many of you upset.

Apparently employers are rejecting sick leave with medical certificates as well. This is actually not legal so you'll need to fight them on this.

If any of the above applies to you then you should respond with an email along the lines of;

1. On what medical grounds is my exemption/sick leave being denied?

2. Can you please provide me with the details of the medical authority and/or physician who is making these decisions on behalf of my health?

3. Can you please provide me with the legal source of your decisions concerning my medical status?

We cannot attend to everyone's individual situation so this is the best advice we can provide. You need to fight them for your rights. You have nothing to lose now.

Reply to your employer or whoever rejected your exemption/sick leave. Make sure you CC your HR department. If you are a member of Red Union you may also want to submit a report with them via your dashboard to add to the evidence.

More updates to come.
