As someone who experiences mental health difficulties, what are my rights at work?
Every employer has a duty by law to make sure that they do not make their employees ill.
The For Employers: An essential guide to mental health and work section of this website covers all of the obligations that employers have, including their requirement to minimise stress and to make reasonable adjustments. The Legals section covers the obligations and rights that people with mental health difficulties have in the workplace.
As an employee, you should expect that your employer does not discriminate against you because of your mental health condition. If you have declared your mental health difficulty as a disability, your employer should do everything reasonable to help you to do your job.
