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 Doctors note under these circumstances involves a charge of £10.

Many employers have their own self-certification forms. If your employer doesn’t have its own form you can complete a form by following this link, you do not need to see a Doctor.

Ask your employer for Statutory Sick Pay - Ask your employer for Statutory Sick Pay - GOV.UK (tax.service.gov.uk)

Doctor’s Sick/Fit Note for more than 7 days
