Re: Off sick
I tell them I fit for work as soon as possible even if it's a day off or Sunday.This stops the clock ticking on your absence and could make the difference in getting a stage warning now or further down the line. I've proved and reminded managers previously when I notified them of return to work even as they had stage warning paperwork drawn up.pisses them right off nasty buggers

Re: Off sick
Yeah 100% this. Text them on a Saturday afternoon and say your are fit to work immediately. At least takes 1 day off your total.

Re: Off sick
Text and follow up with a call, that way you've got written proof. Managers see the calls coming on Saturdays, and I've seen them ignore itSeagull1983 wrote: ↑11 Aug 2022, 05:42Yeah 100% this.

Surely they would be expecting you in work on the Saturday if you phone in the morning saying you are fineSurreypostie wrote: ↑11 Aug 2022, 16:11Don't text them, call them on saturday morning, tell them you are fit to work and will be returning on monday and that it is your rest week.
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

Re: Off sick
Sooner you tell them the less days should be on your sick record make a note of the time and who you told you will be fit to work!

Timing is everything after 10 or 11 or 12 most will take the calls on the golf course before they get to the 19th hole!DiamondSmiles wrote: ↑13 Aug 2022, 15:54This is taking into account that no manager stays later than midday on a SaturdayAcca Dacca wrote: ↑12 Aug 2022, 08:29Surely they would be expecting you in work on the Saturday if you phone in the morning saying you are fineSurreypostie wrote: ↑11 Aug 2022, 16:11Don't text them, call them on saturday morning, tell them you are fit to work and will be returning on monday and that it is your rest week.![]()
