Hi, I'm looking for some advice from both sides of this, if possible.
This is not something I am in the habit of doing but last week I had to visit my GP where he prescribed an antibiotic and gave me a note for work for 3 days. ( I actually cant remember the last time I was off from work sick)
While he was doing up the note I asked him to put down the reason as to why I was unfit for work as our HR require it.
My GP told me he can longer do that due to the data changes & that HR can only request that directly from them with a request that is signed by me.
I accepted this & brought this note to HR. I told HR that while I asked, the GP cannot disclose this without the request from them.
HR are saying that I won't be paid now unless they get a new note with the illness recorded on it & are not prepared to write to GP for it.
Can anyone help me with either side of this please? Who's right, who's wrong?? I can't solve it without either of them but gp is adamant it can't be given.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
