If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
To request a sick note:
- fill out a sick note request form
- phone us on 01633 742960
The doctor may call you or arrange for an appointment.
If you have already been seen by your doctor about this illness your certificate will be sent to you within a week.
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 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. We call this self-certification.
