Before you send it
- Tell your manager by phone or message as early as you can on the first day. The written application follows.
- Say who will cover your urgent work. It is the first thing a manager wants to know.
- Check your company's leave policy for when a medical certificate is needed. Many ask for one when sick leave is longer than two or three days.
- You do not have to give medical details. The name of the illness, or just "unwell", is enough.
What to attach
- Medical certificate, if your company's policy asks for it
Common questions
Can I send a sick leave application by email?
