I think your boss has the verbal type of your diagnosed complaint Tony.

Wouldn't really know WHAT the procedure is nowadays ... ... things will no doubt have changed since I last worked.

hahahaha...that's funny! Well I'm sure your boss can accept that!

misses just told me its after 7 days that docs give sick notes.
upto 7 days you can do a self certified note

All I know is in my job you can self certify for 7 days.

I know because I had Bronchitis in October and was off for 2 weeks. First time I had been off sick in years.

yes your misses is correct
but the companies always doubt especially if a worker has just been on a long holiday then call off work because their sick.

was there not a court ruling, if you was sick on holiday, you could claim them days holiday back from work.

tony if you really want to your employer off, tell them you want to claim the Friday when you was sick back as a holiday
