He did not ask for a sick note, the doctor just gave it to him.

He normally gets full pay when off sick. I have seen nothing relating to this in any company rules or contracts.
So if signed off sick the doctor has certified he cannot work during that time.

If the patient then decides a holiday will help his health and the doctor does not advise it is unwise to travel (an ear infection and flying / travelling to somewhere with ianppropriate medical facilities for example) then you can do what you want.

Apart from similar work.

Who is driving this holiday thing his line manager or HR. He should probably go to HR who know the rules and know this is not something they should be doing.
