Can I get sick pay from work?
When you start your new job, check to see if your company has a sick pay policy. Make sure it has one and that it protects you and lets you know what to do if you need to take a sick day.
For the exact details of the sick pay policy at your place of work, take a look at your company's handbook, or ask your manager or HR department for more information.
