Sick notes

To request a sick note:

• phone us on 01463 782214 (Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5pm)
• you will need to provide information on why you require the sickline and may be required to make an appointment with a doctor, to discuss it further 

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.
