Signed off sick during probation period

[Purdy1980]

I have just been signed off sick for 10 days due to bereavement and low mood.

I have been with my employer since July this year and last month my 3 month probationary period was extended for another 3 months due to having time off and making mistakes.

I don't have a contract of employment with them and I am now worried I may lose my job when I return to work in 10 days time.

If I do lose my job do I have any grounds for a claim against them?

Thanks,

No, they can dismiss you anytime in the first two years as long as the reason isn't dicriminatoy.
