Hello
Employee handed in resignation (one months notice in contract)
Employee did not want to honour this but did not try to negotiate a shorter notice period.
Employee then stated they were unable to work due to stress.
Next day email was received from employee's work email but stating it was a friend of employee.
Stating employee had accident - concussion and broken limbs - and would not be able to work rest of his notice period.
My question is - given that employee is unavailable to work (due to broken limbs) is Employer entitled to pay full notice period or does Employer pay sick pay and remaining notice period?
Thanks in advance
