Fit Notes

  • Posted

If you blinked, you missed this.

Employees can now self-certify sickness for up to 28 days (previously 7 days). They only need to attend a GP for a ‘fit note’ if they have been ill for more than 28 days and have taken sick leave. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.

To see more, in what is probably one of the shortest statutory instruments ever made, it’s in The Statutory Sick Pay (Medical Evidence) Regulations 2021.
