Ive a sick note, but am feeling a bit better, can I return to work?

Question

I dont know what the guidelines are, if i feel 100% within the time the sick note covers, can I sign myself back on? anyone have any ideas please.

i'm not contageous as i didnt have a contageous infection and dont get paid for sick days

cant i get the doctor to state that i am fit for work if i am fully better. 2 and 1/2 months off is a long time, ive been off 6 weeks and am getting better

Answer 1

Only if you get a fit for work certificate from your dr.

Without it your workplace is not covered by it's insurance for you, so if you were to have an accident they would be in big trouble.

Best to stay home till sick note runs out, or go back and see your dr for a fit to work certificate if you really want to go back now!

Answer 2

You can only return to work,
when the doctor, signs you back, as fit for work.

I am glad you are feeling so much better .
Go to the doctor and he will check you out

If you are fit for work ,
he will give you a date,
that you can return, to your job

Then you can contact work
and tell them the date, you will be returning ;

I know it seems like a 'rigmarole',
but it is to ensure, you do not go back too soon
and become unwell again because of this .

Bear with it and stay well

for sure no birth control is one hundred% sensible, in spite of the undeniable fact that that's no longer very likely. I had very similar indicators March-June. all started with breast tenderness, nausea, and unusual cravings. without note I had to pee each of the time. I received some weight, and prefer you, I actually have always been underweight/borderline proper weight. I received exceedingly a lot 10 pounds. This went on for a sturdy 3 months, and that i finished up switching birth control instead of having my next shot. My body nevertheless isn't back to regularly occurring (I nevertheless am yearning strange issues) yet frequently that's helped.

I did recently before my sick note expired. I suppose I should have been signed off by my doctor but I couldn't be bothered. So I should think it would be ok if you are sure but don't take my word. To be sure I would see your doc as you don't want a relapse.

Answer 5

You do need a Med 3 final, stating you are fit to return to work, without this your employer can't let you back. To obtain this your GP must actually see you and assure himself that you are fit.

Answer 6

i was off for 6 weeks but felt better so i went to the doctors and they said i could stay off even though i was better or they could sign me back to work. they said i had to talk to my boss then go back to the doctors a few days later before they'd sign me back to work!

Answer 7

I think you shouldn't return to work until you see a doctor, because you might go back to work and start feeling bad all over again

Answer 8

Do you get paid while your home on sick? If yes why do you want to go back so soon. Take the time to relax you might not get this time again.

Answer 9

You need to get a note from your doctor to sign you off the sick.

Answer 10

I'm a Team Leader and no I'm afraid you can't, the company you work for would not be covered by their insurers should you become ill or have an accident in the workplace, so any responsible employer would not allow you back until your sicknote expires.
