Nor me. Schedule 3 condition 2 does not apply as employers are now
responsible for their own record keeping in respect of sick pay. In the
olden days there was a legal requirement to have details of illnesses for
government sick pay schemes but since the law was changed to require
employers to administer the scheme the only condition in Schedule 3 that
applies is number 1 - explicit consent.
