Only 3 months? 6 months? you have no rights at a tribunal the qualifying period is 2 years...move on and don't go sick next time. Employers are not social sevices. (All subject of course to your contract of employment and statute) |

"Im a chef.no union."
Then ACAS is what you need to start with. They have a good website & their advisors on the phones are excellent too. Good luck - my employment law is too rusty to advise you properly |

Surly if you got a cert from the hospital to say you were in due to a bad kidney infection & to say how long you were in hospital for....   |

In a nutshell: three months employment you have no leave to claim unfair dismissal. |

I'm not sure that the OP had a lot option on whether to go sick or not.....I'm sure he would rather have been slop jocking rather than lying in hospital! |

You seem a bit vague, you must know how long you worked there... As everyone else said, no real rights here because they can say you were on trial if needs be |

True but makes no difference. Too short a term to have any rights sorry. |

Even if over two years if as is likely you were on a zero hours contract you weren't dismissed you were just no longer Rota'd to work. Covered as above. Happy 2016 |

Correct.

Not so actually.
There are a number of cases where the qualifying period does not apply, eg jury service, pregnancy etc. A sudden serious illness could be argued to fall into this category, but sadly OP, I suspect you work in an industry where if you were to look deeper into this, it would simply reduce your chances of future employment.
You've been unlucky, but pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and move on.
Better luck in your next job.
