Thames Valley Police told Katrina Hibbert she must stop running a party business, a tribunal hears.
A former police officer has been handed more than £1 million in compensation after it was ruled she had been discriminated against.
But she resigned from the force after it withdrew permission for her to run the business while she was off sick, which a judge found to be "discrimination arising from her disability".An occupational health nurse had suggested taking up a hobby could improve Ms Hibbert's mental wellbeing, the tribunal was told.
The force then removed Ms Hibbert's business interest approval, telling her that running the business while off sick could be "impacting on return". In March 2020, Ms Hibbert resigned from TVP, adding she was "not mentally strong enough to battle through a gross misconduct".TVP had failed to make reasonable adjustments and discriminated against Ms Hibbert by removing her business interest approval, the tribunal found.Ms Hibbert was awarded about £1,168,000, which included cash for future financial losses.
