Sick / Fit notes

**Fit notes will be changing from 6 April 2022. A new version of the fit note will be introduced that will contain the name of the doctor authorising the form, rather than needing it to be physically signed. While this change is being rolled out the current version of the fit note that requires physically signing will still be legally valid**

From 27 January 2022 you will need to provide a fit note after 7 days of sickness to claim benefits or claim Statutory Sick Pay from your employer.
