Sick Stage 1 clarification.

Post by The old boot »

Just need a bit of advice please.
I was issued with a stage 1 on the 23 Feb this year, I’m not arguing I didn’t deserve it and my line manager issued the stage after going through the usual process. Anyway, I’ve just been signed off today for 3 weeks by my GP with anxiety and stress, I’ve done more than the 6 months without any other sickness till today. I’m assuming because I’ve done 6 months and I met RM attendance procedure that the stage would have been cleared and I’m now not on the Stage 1? or, am I wrong and I’m still on a stage 1 and this further absence will now see me with (maybe) a stage 2 interview been issued rather than what I believe that I’ve cleared my stage 1 and this knock would trigger a fresh new stage 1?

Thanks in advance.
