If you are off work for LESS THAN FOUR DAYS the law says that you do NOT need a sick note for your Employer.
For a period from 4 to 7 days (including Saturday and Sunday) you must complete a SELF-CERTIFICATE (available from Reception).
If you are sick for more than 7 days you will require a Fit To Work certificate statement from the Doctor.
If you Employer insists on a sick note during the first 7 days of your illness, please note that there will be a charge for a private certificate.
