Employer home visit after 4 days sick

If your stress is related to your work they should NOT even contact you, for blindingly obvious reasons - Bit surprised nobody else told you this

I have been signed of work by my Dr due to work related stress (today is my 4th day - the sick note is until the 17th,thus includes 7 days of self certification) My Dr has also referred me for counselling. I have only taken 15 days off sick in the last 4 years - 10 of those days where spent recovering from an operation the other 5 due to post operation checks - all certified - I work hard, go the extra mile and get good results. They said on the phone that they just want to check I'm Ok but part of me wonders if they're trying to stitch me up in order to get themselves of the hook. (there was a serious incident at work- they haven't done anything to prevent it happening again which as left me feeling unsafe and stressed). Is it normal for an employer to request to visit you at home after just 4 days? Should I be concerned?
Thanks

Before anyone wastes any time retorting to this post, have a look at their posting history to see the level of obtuse argument they enjoy generating, here's just one example:

That is a light hearted post on the discussion board. The perfect place to post such a thread and it generated over five pages of comments.

I see no reason why this thread means that all other posts this poster makes should be ignored....

Yet their assertion on this thread is untrue.

You are quite correct. It should be ignored because it is blindingly wrong and in no way a reflection of the law or good practice. The reason nobody else told the OP this is because the other posters weren't peddling rubbish.

DOCTORS note is enough - Did you read the OP?

You have obviously investigated the law but failed to investigate the slightest morality.
I can only wish that you get work-related stress and that your employers contact you.

So you admit your advice has no legal standing.

Lets just ignore the nastiness of the rest of the post and focus on the fact you haven't a clue what you're on about, but at least you admit it!

(and as for your first post, employers don't need to take any notice of a doctors note, legally, morally, emotionally, psychologically...)

Any fool can read the law because somebody else has made those judgements for them, but you dont get to define the morals, emotions or psychology of this act - and since you dont think a doctors note is enough to ask your employer to 'lay off' then your morals are questionable at least

There is nothing helpful in telling someone what a meanie their employer is. Nothing.

The employer is acting within the law. The law is as it stands for a reason. Crying that its so so mean isn't helpful, and it won't help the OP.
