Can anyone confirm if the below is correct

You can have -

4 periods or 14 days in a six month period and it stays live on your record for 12 months

Cheers

The absences are across a 12 month period and if you trigger a stage it lasts for 6 months.

Pretty sure it's 14 days or 4 absences can trigger a stage 1 warning.

So stay under that and no stage is triggered.

If a stage is triggered, and no further sick absence occurs in six months, you go back to being squeaky clean.

From the interview that you have after you trigger it.
