Get help with your Fit Note (Self-Certification) form
Knowing if you need a Fit Note or if you can Self-Certify as ill can sometimes be confusing, but it’s an important way to communicate your health status to your employer.
This tool tells you which one you need, whether you can sign yourself off work, or if you need a GP to do it.
Using this tool can save you time and reduce stress, ensuring you get it right the first time.
How to use the Fit Note Helper:
- Enter the start date of your sickness. This is when you would request the Fit Note to start.
2. Enter the ‘end date’ you would like the Fit Note to end on.
3. Click ‘Check if I need a Fit Note’
4. The helper will tell you if you can self-certify off work and will give you the ‘Statutory Sick Pay’ form to fill out, or it will tell you that you may need a Fit Note from your GP and how to request one with us.
