Sick/Fit Note Certificates

Self Certification Sick/Fit Note for less than 7 days

If you have been ill for 7 days or less, you don't need to see a Doctor. You can complete a Self-Certification form yourself. However, some employers insist on a Doctor's note regardless. A Doctor's note under these circumstances involves a charge.   

Doctor’s Sick/Fit Note for more than 7 days

If you have been ill for more than 7 calendar days your employer will require you to provide a doctor's certificate. These certificates are called 'Fitness to Work' certificates. The doctor may call you or arrange an appointment.

If you have already been seen by your Doctor about this illness your certifcate will be sent to you within a week.
