    If it was issued today, the normal interpretation would be that it covers the 6th to the 12th, and you'd be due back in next Tuesday

    If you work 5 days per week, and you were off the 30th, then you are due back tomorrow.

    Ok, so if they take your illness as starting on Tue, and dating the week to include that, you should have been back today.
    I can't see how they can say you should have been back yesterday, "the rest of this calendar week" would be an odd interpretation of a week to recover.
