Unsigned amendment to contract - sick leave

[briggsy's girl]

most gps wont backdate a med certificate as they can't prove you were sick on the day in question.

My employer accepts a Stat Dec in lieu of a medical certificate. Not sure whether that's universal practice but worth checking? Sometimes you are ill enough to stay home for a couple of days but don't need to see a doctor. Gastro is a good example. No point spreading your germs around a GP's waiting room just for the purpose of obtaining a medical certificate!
