Being too ill to work is not misconduct — but without the right documentation, it can start to feel that way. Many UK workplaces require medical evidence beyond the self-certification window, and when GP appointments are weeks away, employees end up exposed through no fault of their own.
1. Formal warnings for late or missing sick notes.
2. Pressure to return before you’ve recovered.
3. Lost Statutory Sick Pay when claims lack evidence.
4. Stigma around mental-health absences that are hardest to document.
Flu and respiratory infections, severe allergies, heat exhaustion, sudden stomach illness — and increasingly, stress, anxiety and burnout, which deserve proper recognition and proper paperwork.
