Around 350,000 people across the UK are expected to call in sick today, according to the Employment Law Association.
The so-called “National Sickie Day” is set to cost the economy up to £45 million in lost wages, hours and overtime.
The first Monday in February is statistically the day people are most likely to call in sick.
