The language in the FM1 and the contract is the same.
I have not had to call in sick yet but I tend to agree in that bringing a doctors note feels a bit like getting back to school and going to the principles office to give proof of the absense. This is the first job I’ve ever had where this was a ‘thing’ and I’ve had quite a few jobs over the last 25+ years.

At least I don’t have to worry about them telling my parents on me!

Edit: I took my kids in for shots last week during school hours. Doc offerred me a ‘school note’ for the kids and a ‘work note’ for me. I guess he assumed I missed work for the appointment but it struck as weird. I’ve never before been offerred a work note for going to the Dr. Maybe this is becoming ‘a thing’ with companies now and I’m just now seeing it with Envoy?
