Fitness for work / Sick note Request

When do I need a fit 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.

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 note (or Statement of Fitness for Work) from a GP or hospital doctor. Fit notes are sometimes referred to as medical statements or a doctor's note.

(This should be the first date you were not at work, or the day after your last Fit (Sick) note ended)
(This is the date when you think you will be ready to work again. Please add a suggestion and this will be reviewed by your GP practice)
