"I think if you're off for a week you need a sick note. But don't quote me"
You can sign yourself off for 7 days but it includes weekends even if you don't work them.
Most companies will ask for a self certification form on return. |

When employed and much younger, I took the odd day off on 'sick'. But now, being a small company employer, I see the actual cost in monetary terms and other colleagues having to make up for being a man down.
What's wrong with putting in leave? I think a week on false sick is taking the mick tbh....

Never thrown a sickie in ma life, but was well pissed off when I spent 14 nights in the DRI with a pulmonary embolism and nearly came out in a wooden box 11 yrs ago.
Been sent home a couple of times (was working on site) when ma psoriatic arthritis was kicking in about 3 years ago.
Am now on long term ESA, and I wish I could work everyday.  |

Are you under stress, do you feel you "need" time off for emotional or mental health reasons? I don't think a week is too much to ask under those circumstances, especially if it forestalls a longer period of illness later.
If you just feel like a week off I don't think its fair on colleagues. |

"You're human and therefore you cannot help illness even I it does last a week. Why should anyone judge you for that? "
He doesn't mean he is actually ill. He is planning a week off on 'sick' and is looking for plausible ones.... |
