Medical Certificates
The first 7 days of your illness is covered by self-signing certificate (SC2) which is available from the HMRC website at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/statutory-sick-pay-employees-statement-of-sickness-sc2 or can be collected from reception. After 7 days you should see your doctor for a "not fit to work certificate" (sick note).
Alternatively ongoing sick notes may be requested via our Administrative Staff on 0345 099 7200.
Fitness or return to work certificates are NOT issued, but if your employer insists upon one, there will be a private charge which they should pay.
