Research released on 3 February, dubbed by some as ‘National Sickie Day’, suggested that 8.6 million people threw sick days last year because they found their jobs ‘too painful’.
Workplace culture was cited as one of the biggest causes of absence, as well as colleagues and workloads.

It covers everything from processes and fit notes, to return to work interviews, recurring absences and pay.
