How long before my start time do I need to ring and notify that I’m sick and need to be off.

As soon as practical, but if you leave message on answer machine, you must ring again later after ~1030 to try to speak to managers.

You can self certify for 7 days.

One thing I'm not sure on is whether you can use the online 111 form to cover a further 7 days ?

Think you misread the question.

I think with the current situation just ring your doctors and I think they will issue one over the phone

Not really a cut off point. For example if you arrive at work and then start feeling sick you would have to go home.

There's more info here, ViperF: https://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communi ... =1&t=92924

And an overview of the Attendance Agreement here: https://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/mrm/Att ... ummary.pdf

If you’re unable to come to work you need to
speak to your manager (or their deputy if they’re
unavailable) or go through the agreed process
for your unit, as soon as possible. You should
ideally speak to them before you’re due to be in
work.
