Self Certificates
You do not normally need a doctor’s
certificate for the first seven days
of illness. The Statutory Sick Pay
Regulations state that employers are
required to accept
self-certification notes (filled in
by you) for the first seven days of
illness. These are available from
the surgery and your employer may
also hold some.
You do not require any form of
certification during the first FOUR
DAYS off work. If you take up to
SEVEN DAYS because you are not well
enough to attend work, then you must
fill in a self-certificate. Anything
OVER SEVEN DAYS means you will need
a doctor’s certificate and will need
to visit a doctor to acquire this.
Private Sick Notes
Some employers or insurance schemes
may ask you to provide a private
sick note. There will be a fee if
you require a private note for the
first seven days of your illness.
The surgery will be able to advise
of the current fee.
