I see a real concern if as Richard eludes the DDA is used to protect the poor performers and attendees. Surely a contract of employment is a 2 way obligation. The employer must have reasonable expectations that an employee will turn up to work regularly. I cannot believe it was parliaments intention that it be used to shield these individuals.

Surely all one would have to show is that the individual in question was treated no differently to anybody else.

Or am I wrong?
