Request a Fit/Sick Note
If you are off work sick for seven days or less, you will need to self-certify. You will need a fit/sick note if you are off work sick for more than seven days. The seven days include days that you don't normally work. So when you work out how long you've been off sick, you should include weekends and bank holidays.
Self-certification Forms
Your employer 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. This is called self-certification.
