Illness during notice

• I received notice of termination from my employer and was informed that I would be paid for the notice period.
• During this notice period, I have fallen ill and have obtained a medical certificate from my doctor.

1. During a paid notice period, if I fall ill and have a doctor's certificate, does this period of illness count as sick leave?
2. If it is considered sick leave, what implications does this have on my entitlements, such as pay and the duration of the notice period?

Yes, if you are sick, the period of illness would count as sick leave.

Your notice period would remain the same, only that you would be sick for part of it.

Does your company have a sick pay policy? If not, you are entitled to statutory sick pay at a rate of 70% of your day's salary for up to 5 days, capped at €110 per day, assuming you have worked for your employer for 13 weeks or more.

I would appreciate any advice on whether my sick leave would legally alter the conditions or length of my notice period, and any other legal considerations I should be aware of in this scenario.
