Sick/Fit Note Certificates

Self Certification Sick/Fit Note for less than 7 days

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.
