In fact a case like this would typically be a bench decision (Judge would decide). It would likely come down to who seemed more truthful. Neither side seems to have much evidence | |

| Dec 9, 2019 at 13:03 | comment | added | Comic Sans Seraphim | @IDDQD This applies to criminal law. Civil law varies but typically works on the balance of probabilities. He doesn't have to prove outright that OP was faking illness, though considering OP is foolish enough to admit this under what I imagine is his real name, I doubt that'd be hard. | |

| Dec 9, 2019 at 12:59 | comment | added | Aida Paul | That's for criminal law, there is no guilt to assign. And the offence is likely fireable and notice changed nothing. | |
| Dec 9, 2019 at 12:58 | comment | added | user180146 | Laws regarding this (depending where OP is located) can be quite difficult and complicated and I agree with the answer that the order (first resignation and then fired) might be important. It is ofcourse the question whether two weeks pay is worth the potential legal costs. | |

| Dec 9, 2019 at 12:55 | comment | added | IDDQD | From moral point of view, it doesn't. From legal point of view, it is another story. If this case reaches court, the topic starter may actually win this due to lack of evidence against him - if the boss cannot prove that he lied. | |
| Dec 9, 2019 at 12:51 | comment | added | Aida Paul | Faking sick leave on notice, or without, is cause enough to fire him. Why would it make a difference? | |
