Sick Day Rules?

[Purple-Owl]

Everyone seems to know what 'Sick Day Rules' are - except me. I have been trying to find out what they are, but links given here only lead to people talking about them, not to a definition of what they are. How do I get to a definition of Sick Day Rules?

Have a look at this post - from the link you should be able to download the PDF on to your device -

healthunlocked.com/pmrgcauk....

..or this from another source, but doesn't necessarily cover PMR GCA- but same advice -

endocrinology.org/media/414...

EDIT: how to find various posts -

Thanks very much DorsetLady. That's just what I wanted. Your links took me to comprehensive and understandable definitions of Sick Day Rules. I don't know how, but I had never seen these before.

From the FAQs you do have to click a couple of times - but they are there.

Have you looked in the FAQs - which are almost always mentioned in the same breath as Sick Day Rules? If you have a query like that - first place to look is the FAQs, the link is in the box at the top of every thread, immediately below the post. Or at the top of the Pinned Posts which appear to the right of the screen on a computer - not sure where they are on a phone.

Thanks PMRpro, yes the first place I looked was the FAQs. But they all seemed to be talking about the Sick Day Rules, while never saying what they were!

If you look at the Sick Day Rules post there is a link to the Leeds leaflet which comes as a download. It has all the explanation in it.

As discussed -and should be in links above…..

The link I gave you has PDF docs included

Thanks again to you and PMRpro. I have now downloaded the Sick Day Rules, very muh needed to know.

Thank you for asking this question. I’ve had the same problem and want to be prepared if I get Covid.
