You only need a doctor’s note if you are unable to work and are ill for longer than seven calendar days. (this includes weekends or days you would not normally be in work).
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.
From 6 April 2010, the Government changed sick certificates to become the new Fit Note.
More information about the fit note can be found on the GOV.uk website.
If you still require a doctor to provide a Fit note please use the button below to request one. If acceptable it will be sent to your mobile by sms.
