The only questions they are "supposed" to answer is How long you worked there and What type of employee were you considered while under their employ for the specific job that you were hired to do. They can verify the amount of pay you made and if you were punctual.
can a employer contact you while you are covered by a sick note
It depends on the employer's sick leave policies.
To my knowledge, employers can ask about your attendance. They are NOT permitted to ask why you were out of the office. They are NOT permitted to ask questions about your religious or sexual orientations. They are not permitted to ask specifics about whether or not the previous employer thinks you are ugly or a liar or whatever. If the potential employer does ask these, you can file a lawsuit. If the previous employer makes untruthful, slanderous statements about you, you can also file a lawsuit.
No the employer will have to give you sick leave once a year .
That would depend on the insurance that covers you or what type of deal you made with your employer.
He can for the day that you claimed to be sick.
YES
Sick pay is unregulated. It is a gift from some employers, and the rules are whatever the employer says.
You suspension is as long as your employer says. You cannot change it to sick leave, even if sick.
Yes they can tell you that you have to come in.
