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.
Use this form if you are an employee, you’ve been sick for 3 or more days in a row and need to claim statutory sick pay from your employer
Many employers have their own self-certification forms or you can complete the form online by clicking on the link below
We regret we cannot provide a GP sick note if you have been sick for less than 7 days.
