How to Request a Fit Note
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.
All fit note requests should be submitted via System Connect.
Your request will be reviewed by a clinician, who may issue a fit note based on your recent clinical information or arrange further assessment if required.
