Hi there,
I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.
It all depends on whether you told them that you were admitted to hospital, or not. You need to let your employer know if you can't work, otherwise they will assume that you are AWOL.
Att. Patrick
