Sick pay laws are today being fully reinstated for all employees who are off sick and unable to go to work.
The law was temporarily relaxed to help free up GPs for the booster rollout back in December, meaning workers did not need to see their doctor if they were unwell over the Christmas period.
However, normal rules will reapply from Thursday - meaning workers who are unwell will need to show their employer a GP-signed sick note after seven days to receive statutory sick pay or benefit payments.
