Law regarding work Sickness?

Whitebeast · 2025-04-07 22:55:32

I work for 1 of the biggest retail stores in the UK, Yesterday I came in to work and there's a note to all employees regarding new sickness rules, We now only allowed to be off 1 day a year sick any more and we going to get a verbal warning than written and final and then sack. Is this even legal for the company?
