Sick (Fit) Notes
If you are off work for 7 days or less, you do not need to give your employer a sick note or other proof of sickness from a medical professional.
You should complete a self-certificate (SC2), which you can download from the HMRC website.
If you’ve been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave you will need a doctor’s note.
To request this, please submit an AccuRx
