The government has introduced temporary sickness absence rules, effective 10 December 2021 until January 26th 2022.
The new rules provide an exemption the provision of proof of sickness until 28 days of being off work. Guidance for employees, employers and line managers.
The new rules are introduced to provide relief from GPs having to provide fit notes during the period so they can concentrate on working on the Covid booster programme.
