Fit notes & Sick notes

When do I need a fit / sick note?

7 days off sick or less

If you're off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you've been ill. Instead they can ask you to confirm that you've been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. This is called self-certification. Visit the following link for information and the form for self-certification

More than 7 days off sick

If you're off work sick for more than 7 days, your employer will usually ask for a fit / sick note (or Statement of Fitness for Work) from a GP or hospital doctor. Fit / sick notes are sometimes referred to as medical statements or a doctor's note.
