Fitnote 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.Your employer will provide you with a copy of the Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) SC2 form for shorter periods of illness or complete it online.
More than 7 days off sick
