Can my employer ask me to return to work before the end of my sick leave period

Question

Accepted Answer

You have the right to reject your employer's request to return to work if you were given an MC certifying you to be unfit for work. You do not need to return to work during your medical leave unless you decide to do so.

If you return to work while you are still on MC, your sick leave should not be deducted on the days that you return to work.
