Getting a sick cert online in Askeaton
Employers and, for Illness Benefit, the Department of Social Protection may ask for a medical certificate. Policies differ, so check what your employer or college requires before you book.
A certificate is never automatic. Your doctor must be satisfied, from your consultation, that you are genuinely unfit for work or study, and the certificate covers the period the doctor judges reasonable. Backdating is only possible where there is a clinical reason for it.
