Employer demanding for doctor's note
Comments

Her GP can only issue a note after she has been off sick for 7 days, they should do her a private note though, but they will charge for it.
Not true.
You can get one for any period of time, although there may be a charge if it is less than 1 week. Some doctors charge, others don't.
An employee is only OBLIGED to provide one after 7 calendar days - ie one week.
All you have to provide for less than a week is an SC2.British Ex-pat in British Columbia!0 -
Indeed but that doesn't mean the EMPLOYER has any right of access unless the individual gives permission.
As I said earlier, an employer has no "right" to a report from an employee's doctor unless there is a contractual obligation in place or the employee gives permission.
As I said in my very first post
'Although it may make them think you have something to hide if it came to that you and dont allow them access (as is your right) if they go through the proper channels'Dont wait for your boat to come in 'Swim out and meet the bloody thing'
