Trimmed down the description, tried "merging" with David's conflicting edit, reintroduced the point about making excuses per meta discussion.

Duplicate of I'm swamped at work and a colleague is slacking. Not sure if telling on him is professional
Aug 8, 2017 at 15:29 comment added Professor of programming I doubt it would ever come to a claim of unfair dismissal but we would like to avoid this situation regardless because of the time and money required to battle something like this out in court.
Aug 8, 2017 at 14:13 comment added Radu Murzea I'm not a lawyer and have absolutely zero knowledge in that area, so I just have to ask: given the circumstances, would any court in the UK actually consider such a firing as "unfair" ?

Aug 7, 2017 at 23:37 comment added paparazzo You need to get lawyers involved in case they want to claim protected class. That might be the case they are trying to build up.

Aug 7, 2017 at 18:00 comment added Ed Heal I would imagine that morale is low. This might be a symptom of that. Perhaps talk off the record somewhere neutral

changed line manager to boss for clarity
Aug 7, 2017 at 17:38 comment added Professor of programming I'm located in England, UK. I'm not sure of legal aspects because HR have been getting legal advice and not forwarding it on.
Aug 7, 2017 at 17:35 comment added thursdaysgeek Location could be useful - are you in the US where the employee is using FMLA? What are the legal requirements for accommodation at your locale?
Aug 7, 2017 at 17:34 comment added Wesley Long Someone needs to get HR off their butt. If they need accommodations, then have them transferred to a role that can accommodate them.
Aug 7, 2017 at 17:34 comment added Professor of programming I have not asked for evidence but my boss has suggested that HR have evidence, and HR say that they have got a list of recommendations from my subordinates health advisor.
Aug 7, 2017 at 17:33 comment added Professor of programming I've spoke to my boss who said HR are failing the company and my boss has spoke with my grand boss who my boss says is aware of the situation but none of this appears to change anything.
Aug 7, 2017 at 17:32 comment added DJClayworth Do you have any actual evidence that his health conditions are "just an excuse", by which I mean either not real or not as serious as claimed?
Aug 7, 2017 at 17:31 comment added David K You should definitely start by talking to your manager, HR, and possibly the company lawyers about this. If you are serious about firing this person, it will need to be a group effort to make sure it's done right.
