HOW
DO I...
OBTAIN A
SICKNESS CERTIFICATE ?
You do not require a doctor's
sickness certificate for any illness lasting six days or less. Your
employer may, however, require you to complete a self-certification
form (SC1) which is available from your employer. For any illness
longer than six days you will need to see the doctor for them to issue
a sickness certificate (F.med 3) and for any subsequent renewal of
the certificate.
