Hi Mirray,

It depends where the speaker is. If you are asking someone at home to come to their/your place of work, you would say: Come into work if you are feeling all right or stay at home if you are unwell.

If you see someone in their/your place of work and you want to know if they intend to work, you would ask: Have you come in to work (have you come in (in order) to work?) or are you just visiting?

Hello Alan,

I know it might sound stupid, but why not '... or you are just visiting?'
