Under Union guidelines if you are off sick, you cannot be expected to undertake any work at all.  Whilst training for union responsibilities I played devil's advocate by talking about the person off with a broken leg who was expected to do marking, planning, administration etc. The answer was a definite no.  If you are off sick, cover should be provided for your job.
