1) Nora is the Managing Director of a company manufacturing plastics. She has 30 employees, most of whom have been loyal to the organisation for many years. One of her employees, Adam, has been off sick for 3 weeks and has been in hospital for most of that time undergoing a series of tests. The doctor suspected that he is having cancer.

Nora is very concerned about Adam. She has agreed to continue paying him sick pay at the rate of full pay for the time being but she has had to take on a temporary staff to help cover Adam's work and the extra cost is starting to hurt the company. However, she does not want to make things worse for Adam by reducing his pay when he is so vulnerable. If cancer is diagnosed, Nora thinks it is unlikely that Adam will be able to return to work; she does not know what she would need to do in the circumstances. Whilst Adam is a long-serving and very hard-working employee, she cannot afford to carry him for an extended period. She is worried also about any employment law implications.
