Sick Note becomes Fit Note Print E-mail
Tuesday, 11 May 2010

After 6 April 2010 you will see employees providing a statement of Fitness to Work (“Fit Notes”) instead of the previous ‘sick notes’.

The new ‘Fit Note’ will indicate that the employee is either:-

 

-          unfit for work, or

 

-          fit for some work

 

In the second case it will be necessary to draw up a back to work plan. The GP can assist by suggesting reduced hours or phasing the return.
