When I was in the UK, you didn't even need a slip from the doctor, just told your employer you were sick and stayed home, because everyone understood it is simply better that way.
my dad has tales of a coworker who gave precisely 0 fucks and would call in sick reliably every monday after having drank themselves into oblivion, it took the workplace years to finally be able to get rid of him.
