probably been asked a million times

[Rage24]

I'm off work today, neck has gone, can't look left or right. How long can i be off without needing a proper note from the dr? went to walk in centre this morning and Dr says to go back tuesday for more tests if neck is still the same.

[glenfiddich]

If your not back to work next Saturday you will need a Dr's fit note from then

[aiden01]

[Rage24]

the last time i was off was less than 6 months ago, i'll probably be on a stage 1 now won't i?

[spiderj]

Not if its work relate

[doob]

Depends how long u were off for etc

[coxie]

If you're not on a stage, to trigger a stage 1 it's 4 seperate absences or 14 days, whichever comes first over a 12 month period

A self-certificate is required for the first 7 days of absence and thereafter a GP medical fit note is required and as you are revisiting the medical centre on Tuesday you will need to have the fit noted back dated to the expiry of your self-certificate. If your last absence less than 6 months ago is your first to be recorded on a clean absence record then you have as previously stated an absence period of 13 days before a first stage formal prompt is issued so if your last absence was over 2 days then you will trigger a stage 1 unless your absence was the result of an AOD which should be discounted which has also been mentioned.
Just a small point to be considered if you are unable to look left or right then I trust you are not driving to the medical centre.

He will be alright if the medical centre is straight ahead.

Amendment to my posting if you return to work on Wednesday after visiting medical centre on Tuesday then your period of absence will have been 4 days and if your last recorded absence was for 9 days or less then a stage 1 formal prompt will not be triggered.

You are right was just pre-empting management's question should it come to a first stage interview.
