Will my employer accept an online sick cert?
A certificate issued after a genuine consultation with an Irish-registered doctor is normally accepted, but employer policies vary. If you are unsure, check with your employer or HR before you book.

Only if your doctor has a clinical reason, based on your consultation. They cannot backdate a certificate simply because it is requested.
