If you have been ill for 7 days or less you don’t need to see a doctor. You can complete a self-certification form yourself. However some employers insist on a doctor’s note regardless. A doctors note under these circumstances involves a charge of £10.

Many employers have their own self-certification forms. If your employer doesn’t have its own form you can download the self-certification Form. Please print it, fill it in and hand it in to your employer. You do not need to see a doctor.

If you have been ill for more than 7 days you will need a doctor’s certificate. These certificates are called ‘Fitness to Work’ Certificates.
