Sickness Certificates

Self-Certificate

If you have been sick for more than four days in a row, but less than seven, you can self–certify your illness using a SC2 form. You can obtain this form from your employer or by visiting the HMRC website. If you are unwell for more than four days you are advised to arrange an appointment to see a Doctor to assess your fitness to work.

Statement of Fitness for Work

The Doctor will provide you with a Statement of Fitness for Work (‘FitNote’) if you are still not well enough to work. Your employer will most likely request this statement as evidence to support payment of Statutory Sick Pay (SSP).

When seeking a further or continuation of your Statement of Fitness for Work (‘FitNote’), please call reception 0141 764 1666 on the day your previous ‘FitNote’ runs out and request a further FitNote. This is not guaranteed and we recommend you call the surgery later that day (after 4pm) to see if this has been done or if the FitNote has not been issued an explanation will be provided.

Further information is available at the Direct.Gov website.

Private Certificates

If you or your employer require further information concerning your period(s) of illness , then your Doctor may require to issue you with a letter. Please note that a charge will apply for this service.
