Self Certification Sick / Fit Note for less than 7 days
If you have been ill for 7 days or less you don’t need to see a Doctor. You can complete a Self Certification form yourself. However some employers insist on a Doctor’s note regardless. A Doctor’s note under these circumstances involves a charge.
Many employers have their own self-certification forms. If your employer doesn’t have its own form you can download a Self Certification Form. Please print it, fill it in and hand it in to your employer. You do not need to see a Doctor.
