Legally > If you were due to work 7 days straight and you never worked any of them you are within your right to put in a self cert, after 1 week a doctors sick note is required.

The norm is accepted as 40 hours over 5 days, however I have staff who work 12 days straight, one of there weeks is a 7 day week, if they had that full week off they could hand in a self cert.

But all said and done I would still be thinking wheres my sick note, if you were that ill why have you not been the doctors? this would leave me feeling suspicious about you sciving off work

Just my thoughts
