Handing in my notice after sick leave

This is a really awkward question, and I'm feeling so stressed about the whole situation, so hoping to get some advice... I've been on sick leave since June last year (had chemo June to Dec, surgery in Feb and radiotherapy March to April), and I'm now thinking about handing my notice in. My job doesn't make me happy or fulfilled, and after this whole cancer experience, I don't want to waste time being stuck in a job that I don't enjoy. But I've been on full pay all this time, and I'm really worried the company might demand some of this money back! Is this something to be worried about, do you think?

I'm feeling so guilty about quitting after being on full pay for so long. My manager left at the end of March, and I haven't spoken to or even had an email from the new manager since. I'm beginning to think they've forgotten about me!

  • Do what is right for you. You don't need to "make it up" to the company for being sick. Especially as it doesn't even seem like they've been particularly supportive.

    Check out what the regulations are, if any, about leaving after sick leave. Check citizen's advice or contact your union. I am not familiar with UK law, but am sure this must be regulated.
