How long has he been with you? You can not fire someone w/gout. Why not provide insurance for him. Or should have written on contract he must have self insurance. You must give him sick leave. Remember- HE will take care of YOU if YOU take care of HIM!

No...you know you cant, firing someone in the UK because they are ill opens you up to all sorts of legal action..... even you wont have enough money to pay the costs.

You can't fire him, that would be discrimination. BUT if you believe that his condition renders him incapable of performing his duties to an acceptable standard; or if his condition puts the safety and/or well-being of himself, you and/or others in jeopardy, then you can make him redundant.

yes, but not for having gout.
You could make him redundant. That's what most UK businesses do to avoid complications.
Alternatively you could convince him that resigning is the best thing for both of you.

Probably not, especially since you signed that contract promising to keep him on the payroll "for all eternity".

Fire him for an arthritic condition? Shame on you.

Tell him to drink less port. Keep him! He will be even more of an eccentricity if he's limping.
