Fit Notes and Proof of Sickness
Employees only need a fit note from a doctor after 7 days off work sick. For any illness lasting longer than seven days you will need to see the doctor for him/her to issue a ‘Fit Note’ and for any subsequent renewal of the certificate. If your employer insists on a sickness certificate for 7 days or less a charge will be levied. Med3 Fit Notes
