However my previous sick note is nearly finish and i need to go give the new and i also want to do some shopping. So the qustions i want to ask is will i be ok going in to my work place while off sick to do some shoppingp???

Answer 1

I'm sorry for your condition!

What I would do is make a list of everything you need, and have a friend or family member go in and pick it up for you.

Even though you're doing this innocently, it might look odd to the management to see you seemingly "healthy" and in the store you are supposed to work in.

Good luck!

Answer 2

It's not advisable to do that even though you got a valid sick line. It will just cause hassles with you and your employer who will look for any reason to get rid of you when and if you go back to work.

Answer 3

Ring personell and ask them.

Answer 4

It is ok to go in. This is a breakdown of muscle tissue caused probably by injury.  For further info go into internet under the condition.

Answer 5

Don't ask us....ask the management.   Should be OK

Answer 6

Hang on! so you want to go to your workplace, to do some shopping even though you are on the sick for a acute condition that is caused by muscle breakdown? Am I not the only one who can see the wrong in that?

I think if you thought about it seriously you'd clearly know the answer would be "No".

If you are well enough to do your shopping and lug bags around you are well enough to work. And I'm sure your employer will think the same.
