I think your being diddled.

If your were off work for more than I think 4 days, then the firm may well have been paying you statutory sick pay, as part at least of your pay packet for the period. But crucially the company will have been offestting that against some of their payments on your behalf to the government in tax, or National Insurance. If you see an item on your pay slip saying statutory sick pay you know they've done it that way.

If that's the case then how can they argue your time off was holiday, not sickness.
