hahahaaaa. tell them to feck off as they cant sack you for being off ill as long as you hand in a sick note

you work for the gov... they are all lazy skiving so and so's.

don't get angry about it. chill and laugh at the fun you had when off

Self cert. Called in when necessary. Man flu and ear infection. So they think they have me over a barrel. I could throttle em bud.

Oh yes they can sack you for being off ill,sick note or not.
They will have a policy on it,which if they follow it correctly can result in your dismissal on the grounds that you are not meeting your contractual obligations.That is you are not coming to work often enough.The written warning will be stage one of that policy,and will probably contain some sort of ultimatum about not having more than so much more sick in the next 12 months or stage two will follow.That could mean dismissal.
Whatever you do dont thin they cant get rid of you for being sick.

Thats it exactly biggles but they moved the goalposts every year to a almost unmanageable point.

don't worry about it m8 its probably just some silly bint in an office doing what she is told by the man. for them to sack you it would have to be abuse of time off. 6 days in a year is nothing and as long as you have a good track record before this then all is well.

scenario. bored boss turns round to silly bint who is not doing anything.

boss. i want you to do a check on employees and lost days then send some letters out warning them.
bint. ok how many days shall i set the threshold (which is probably a big word for her)
boss. ermm lets make it 6
bint. ok i'll get that done.
boss. good girl now meet me in the stationary cupboard in 20mins

Maybe actually get the policy and read it first. Forewarned is forearmed. Then you could offer to convert some of those days to annual leave if allowed. My employers are flexible and allow me to do this for the odd hangov ...er, sick day.

Wont work if you convert it to al they still count it as a sick day.
