If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
To request a sick note:
- fill out a sick note request form
We will not provide a sick note if you are ill for under 7 days.
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 an SC-2 form yourself. We call this self-certification.
