Yes, they can. You have the right to refuse the information, but it could lead to your not receiving full benefits for the illness or time taken.

Certainly. The rules for sick leave are decided by the employer and are unregulated. Employers need not accept doctors' notes.
When applying for a new job can new employers ask your old employer how many sick days you had?
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.
Is an employer legally allowed to ask an employee why he orshe is calling out sick?
They can try to call them, but the doctor is not allowed to give out any information about you. The doctor might be able to say "yes s/he came in today"/"no s/he didn't come in". But the doctor is not allowed to give out the reason why you went in, since this would be a breach of the Doctor-Patient Confidentiality and therefore illegal. In summary- The doctor can say whether you have seen him/her on that day. But the doctor cannot tell the employer why, if you did, you went to see the doctor, unless the doctor has your permission to do so.
