I can't beat that one although - long story short - a management referral came to see me recently, off sick from 24th December until 2nd January, thought they'd registered with a GP, discovered they hadn't registered with the surgery when they went to ask for a back dated fit note. Sick due to D&V that spread through the household like the Christmas spirit. House hum...

> a case today - empolyee calls in sick, 6 weeks later no contact, no sicknote, no reports of serious illness, past poor attendance history. Me? I I ventured my view with manager, he gets in contact, the employee hasnt actually gone to GP but has gone today as "feels ill" . She is furious because GP hasnt given her backdated sicknote for last 5 weeks as now she imagines that she might just have been AWOL. Am i naughty for secretly smiling? she works in an area where others have had to extend to cover her absence - some of them have medical conditions they are managing and also coming to work.........................
