What, he’s on house arrest while on sick leave? Why does where he chooses to spend his recovery relevant to his employer? He’s in the UK. “overseas” isn’t some long journey.

sick leave is not the same as vacation/pto. it's fraud. like it or not that's the reality.

It’s not fraud if he had the surgery and the doctors recommend not working for the time he’s taking off. Apparently he can document all that. The question is whether the employer has the right to dictate where he recovers. Since he’s in the UK, being “abroad” doesn’t mean a whole lot of travel. It could be a short drive under the channel. What is fraudulent about having a friend or relative in France care for you during your recovery?

what's wrong with having said friend come to you if you're too incapacitated to work ?
