Sick notes - law?
Discussion
Have a lecture thingy coming up soon and all at work have had an email saying attendance is mandatory and anyone claiming to be sick must have a doctors note, failing to have one will have a disciplinary hearing.
I always thought you could be self-certified for a short period of time, certainly 1 day? I'm certainly not going to pull a sicky but this sort of thing always annoys me as I think by saying this they're going against the law, may be wrong though?
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Why? You're paid to do what your employer says. If you're sick, get a note.
What's the problem?

It's a university lecture, should have said that. Not employment but having a lecture from a surgeon.
No pay etc and i'm not going to skyve it, but just don't understand why they're saying we'll get disciplined some how if we don't show?
So its part of the course and the course says turn up to this lecture or have a sick note... not unreasonable.No pay etc and i'm not going to skyve it, but just don't understand why they're saying we'll get disciplined some how if we don't show?
If someone has put the time and effort into getting someone to lecture you, I would be effing embarrassed as the organiser if half the class took the day off and didn't attend.
