Sick (fit) notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

    If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less

    If you’re unwell and off work for 7 days or less, you must self certify your absence. Your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been unwell. Please use the form below as we cannot legally provide you with a FIT note for any absences of less than 7 days.

    If you require support with any of the above items please submit an administrative e-consultation via the contact us online page
