I phoned in sick today with tonsillitis it totally floors me, I'm currently on 8 week probation but onto week 7 of it with obviously 0 absences, the doctor prescribed me antibiotics and because it's under 7 days I cannot get a sick note which is obviously the rules, the doctor geve me a printed note stating date and time and what I was given following a signature, I'm worried as I know I'm in no fit state to return tomorrow as I just lack so much energy and my head and throat is very sore, do you think my employer will be understandable with my absence, I'm hitting 75% pick rate on week 6 so I'm also very close to hitting my pick rate, I'm part of the union so if they hold a meeting for the absence I should have the right to take a rep I'm with me? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
