Recently I was unfairly demoted at work after disclosing mental health issues to my boss. Am i eligible to sue for this action?
The timeline to this event is as follows:
- annual review come up
- boss noticed I was under a lot of pressure due to being managed by him and his boss at the same time with no clear direction
- he tells me he wants to strip back all my managerial roles and take me back to the base job role because I can't cope
- I disclose I have mental health problems and have been seeing medical assistance for depression
- he then says this will be the best way for me to move forward and there is no other option for me as they are giving my job to someone else
- I have no say about keeping my current role and am demoted to a entry level
- I am now more depressed and stressed than I ever have been due to this
Can anybody please give employment law advice on any action I can take against that employer?
