Sick notes

If a member of support staff is off sick prior to half term - do they still need to provide sick notes during the holiday period?

  • Hi Karen, when was the final day of their sickness, i.e. the last day they were actually ill?
  • In reply to Clare:

    The last day they were ill was the day we broke up for christmas
  • In reply to Karen:

    Happy to be guided by more learned colleagues but if the period of sickness ended on their final working day then my understanding is a fit note is not required.
  • In reply to Clare:

    Thankyou clare so if they were still off after the holiday would you expect them to provide a sicknote covering the holiday period ?
  • In reply to Karen:

    Hi Karen, if the sickness continued during the holiday period - meaning their period of sickness has continued for longer than 8 calendar days - I would be expecting to receive a fit note.
