If you have provided sick notes in the past i.e. not just the 7 day self certification period, the sick note will be extended to your next pay date if that pay day is 10 days or less in the future. They will not extend it for a second time if you have failed to provide a sick note. If a payment will be in your bank on Tuesday it means the existing note covers your pay date.
You will need to get a new certificate from your GP before any further payments will be made.0 -
