If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less
If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for a sick note. You will need to fill in a self certification which is available online or you can collect one from the reception desk.
If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
You will need to speak to a doctor to request a sick note. However if you have been in hospital and we have received a discharge summary you can request this without speaking to the doctor please request this via the contact us online link. Remember to include the dates of absence required. You can also request this by speaking to a reception team member please telephone 01562 822647 after 10am. You will be contacted once the fit note is ready.
