The current company, from what I remember but this from over 10 years ago so the law may have changed, but a company you work for, when calling in sick, can't ask you to provide proof. They can ask you "What is wrong? When you think you are going to be back?" and that's pretty much it. They can't ask for your insurance details to check.
I'd leave them as soon as possible.0 -
No, the law hasn't changed. That was never correct! An employer has always been able to interrogate your sickness record, and can withhold SSP or sick pay if they are not satisfied with your evidence. Then it is up to you to take legal action if they do.The current company, from what I remember but this from over 10 years ago so the law may have changed, but a company you work for, when calling in sick, can't ask you to provide proof.
