Hi Amanda
I have read that if its cosmetic then depending on the company policy
for leave of absence she
may not be entitled to sick leave - as you rightly put it no medical
reason.
However i would meet with her if they wished to refer her to rule out
any issues regarding mental health for
reasons for the removal but being careful at the same time - again
this would have to be fairly
substantial to impact on her. The DDA does advise reasons not
included and i think cosmetic is one of them.
good luck
steph
