  • Honestly, most doctors just give you a note if you go in no matter what anyway, so I’ve always felt that it’s more about your workplace tracking you than trying to make sure you’re alright.

    It has always been about discouraging people from taking sick time by making it sound like they might not be able to get a doctor to justify them being out sick. All my low paying jobs enforced it because we didn’t have sick leave and they didn’t hire enough coverage for people to be out sick.

    My current job has it in the handbook that if you are out more than 2 days that you might need a note to return to work, is phrased as existing to ensure people who were out sick are actually well enough to return. I took a note in once after being out for 3 days and they said I only needed it if there was a chance I might still be contagious or have something that would make it dangerous to work for liability reasons. Haven’t bothered with one since!
