If you're off work sick for **7 days or less**, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you've been ill - **you do not need to complete this form.** Instead they can ask you to confirm that you've been ill by filling in a form when you return to work. This is called self-certification.

 **If you have been off work sick for 7 days or more, complete this form.**
