I took on a new job having taken early retirement last month (aged 60). I worked for 3 days for a British-based company (on a Nil Contract), based in Italy, before having to return to the UK following a back injury whilst carrying out my duties.
I saw my GP who gave me a certificate for 2 weeks. Not quite knowing what to do with this document, I sent it to my employers who haven't responded.
According to my contract, I'm not entitled to 'sick pay'. My question is, can I claim any benefits, as I simply can't work at the moment (I'm a former nurse - I can't even return to that role)?:j
