I have been off work with a bad case of the flu/ sickness for the past 2 days and texted in to client manager to let her know each morning that I'm not well enough to work. However this afternoon she replied stating that if I take further time off this week that I must obtain a sick note.
In previous contracts via my limited company working outside IR35 I have never been asked for this (albeit I have rarely taken any time off sick during a contract in the last few years). However, now operating through an umbrella company and inside IR35, as an "employee" of the brolly do I have to supply one? I feel that her tone in her response implies she does not believe that I am unwell which is frankly annoying as I wouldn't just take time off like this for fun when I can't bill for it.
