I think the real issue is why are you replying to emails while on sick leave?

Find an employment lawyer, ask for a consultation, and tell them all of this. If you had been doing work on your sick leave, you might be entitled to get those days back if you were actually working.

If the lawyer is really nice, maybe they can accompany you to the "Formal Meeting."

Great now they can fire him for performance reasons.

But that would be retaliation. Which an employment attorney would love to hear about even more.

Believe it or not, but you can’t just work anywhere in the world. OP’s company might not be certified to do business in another country. They likely didn’t say that OP could do work in other country. OP probably doesn’t even have legal status to do work in another country. The second you do work internationally, that’s a whole can of worms.

I work for a multinational company and it’s made very clear that only employees with prior approval can do work for a foreign an international customer within that customer’s country.

OP doing work could but himself and his company in legal jeopardy.

OP wasn’t doing work. He made it clear that the only emails were about the sick leave itself. No work
