As has been said, if you haven't declared yourself off the sick (i.e. fit to return on your next scheduled shift) then the entire week will be counted as part of your absence as are Sundays and normal rest days. Will you be able to claim your rest week back? Simple answer? No!

You can only claim it back if you were on annual week.

Day off / rotational week off dont count.
