Will my employer see my diagnosis?

I work from home - do I really need a sick day?

Can I get a carer's leave certificate?

Yes. If you need time off to care for an unwell family member, we can issue a carer's leave certificate that supports your leave application.

Can I submit the certificate digitally to my employer?

Yes. The certificate is a secure PDF delivered to your email. Forward it to HR or upload it to your leave management system - no paper copy needed.
