Sick Procedure

Post by seaside53 »

Hi All,

Can someone send a link to the sickness procedure at RM please?

I was off today and likely to be off tomorrow, just wondering what protocol and procedure is e.g, Day 1 - self-certify, Day 2 = Drs note etc...

Cheers

Yes it is standard procedure to invite you in.
If you can go - go.
If you can't, inform him of the fact and invite him to visit you at home.
Agree a level of reasonable contact so he can know how long you will be off for and get you an ATOS referral if necessary.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
