Fit Note

If this is your first sick note for an illness and you have been suffering with it for 7 days or less then you don’t need to see a doctor.

• You can complete a self certification form yourself
• Some employers do require a doctor’s sick note regardless
• Many employers however have their own self-certification forms, but if they don’t you can print and fill out the form below.
