What if he was just asked and came in?
I'm sure it's illegal as if you're signed off you aren't covered by the company's insurance or something like that.
My concern is that with him being contagious, by allowing him to come in while being signed off, it's put the rest of us at risk.
Found this:
Quote:
Where a Registered Medical Praticioner has "signed off" and employee as being unfit for work and the employee wishes to return before the note's expiry, the employer should either require a further note from the Doctor, advising the employee fit for work.
Otherwise, the employer may be liable for any perceievd risk to that person or other employees; of infection, for example, or, otherwise that the employee's inabilty to perform through illness, might result in unacceptabel risk (a fork lift operator, suffering dizzy spells, for example).

So if someone were to catch it off him and sue the company, they wouldn't be covered by their insurance. Oh dear.
