Taken sick leave for more than 7 days in a row?
Request your sick/fit note via our accurx service
If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less
If you are off work for 7 days or less, you do not need to give your employer a fit note or other proof of sickness from a medical professional.
Your employer may however require you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer or you can download it from the HMRC website.
Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
