Fit Note Comes In

“The Social Security (Medical Evidence) and Statutory Sick Pay (Medical Evidence) (Amendment) Regulations 2010 are due to come into effect on 6 April 2010 and will introduce the new ‘fit note’ regime.”

The DWP has issued specific guidance to employers, employees and GPs in an attempt to ease the transition.

The new ‘fit note’ is designed to enable a gradual return to work for employees who have been on long-term sick leave as well as cutting the cost of sickness absence to employers. It does not alter the current self certification regime.
