Going to be a lot of pissed of doctors, when I believe that legally you can self-certify for 5 days

They won’t be able to enforce that, ive seen it tried before in other companies always got dropped like a hot potato when complaints from GP’s started

[Simondavid]

Always told by my GP practice to self certify up to 7 days and not to waste their time with more paperwork

As far as I'm concerned if they ain't paying you, it means you can basically self cert yourself to a week unpaid leave and do what you want.

On the government's own website.

Self-certification
If employees are off work for 7 days or less, they do not need to give their employer a fit note or other proof of sickness from a healthcare professional.

When they return to work, their employer can ask them to confirm they’ve been off sick. This is called ‘self-certification’

We currently get 1hrs worth of breaks 40 mins & 20 mins (in an 8hr shift)

They are capitalising on the CWU taking an extended xmas break until next mon to get all this rolled out!
No doubt there will be lots more EA coming this week

Royal mail know that you won't be able to get a doctor's note for the 1st week. Hence why they are doing it.

[SpacePhoenix]

Any managers try it, just give the doctor contact details for the manager and let the manager explain why a sick note is needed on day 1

[pieoftheday]

Will RM want to put this unpaid sick leave towards a stage?

[chickenwittle]

More Royal Mail scare tactics, 7 day self cert whether they like it or not , my gp will say the same .

How would a doctor know that its your first week but,could you not just say i self cert last week even though you didn't and get it from your first day sick.
