From the details posted as long as the 3 days was one absence then you should have cleared all stages.

Again if the 3 days was within the last 12 months then you will be on 2 absences and 3+ days. The stage 1 kicks in when you exceed 14 days total absences or 4 separate absences even if less than 14 days in total, over a 12 month rolling period.

i cleared the stage in august 2012, i think well didnt have a day off on my record for a year, and since then had 3 days off as 1 absence and had to have today off, so i would be clear of all stages not reverted back to stage one? also this time im off from today will class as 2 absences ?

You won't - I never have. Its a tactic to keep you guessing and in their mind stop throwing unnecessary sickies.

But that implies they know how to use the computer! My manager couldn't even work out how to order uniform on it!

If you go a full year without a day's sick all stages are cleared no matter which one you're on you go back to zero.

You used to be able to phone HR to request your sick record but they stopped this a couple of years ago, I did discover however your line manager can print off your sick for the last 12 months only though.
