Sick Notes, Fit Notes and Self-Certification

You may need a sick or ‘fit’ note if you have been off work for 7 days or more.

To request a sick note, you can:

If you’ve been off for 7 days or fewer

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 a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
