Doubt it, you don't get lieu days when you're sick on a Sunday!

You do, any holidays are accrued when off sick, it's only when it's a non service day that you wouldn't get them back.

If it's your rotating day off the you get it back too but we all know that DOMs will try anything to fiddle people out of things.
