can a employer contact you while you are covered by a sick note
I am currently off on sick and my employer is proposing different working times. do i have to reply, or accept this proposal
In general an employee has no right under employment law to be paid while on sick leave. Consequently, it is at the discretion of the employer to decide his/her own policy on sick pay and sick leave, subject to the employee's contract or terms of employment.
No that is a benifit the company gives you
It depends on the employer's sick leave policies.
Yes you CAN, but if you become more sick or become injured because an employer FORCED you to work while you have been 'signed off', then your employer is liable BIG TIME. If you signed a legal waiver and chose to work while being 'signed off' then the consequences would be your problem.
No the employer will have to give you sick leave once a year .
The employer is not required by law to pay out sick pay while an employee is collecting workman's comp. It depends on the employer though. In some cases an employer may pay earned sick pay to an employee collecting workman's comp. pay as a good will gesture, especailly to an employee who has had a very serious injury and has been a long term employee who has had few or no injuries.
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.
It depends. If you have enough sick time and or vacation time to cover the leave, you can use that. If not, no the employer does not have to pay you. I assume that you are out on FMLA.
