We have a female employee who just completed her 6 months here, which means she is no longer on probation. Her age is 58+ and lately, she is taking too many leaves due to being ill (high BP, etc.). Now she says that she has been advised to seek rest for 3 weeks.
We are in the prime of our work right now and do not want her to collapse during her duty. Can we fire her on health grounds, stating that we cannot accommodate a person to work full time if she is in such a frail state of health?

Ask her to go to the company medical officer/nominated doctor for full scale health check up. Based upon doctors recommendation further action can be considered.
