Section E

ILL HEALTH - SICK PAY SCHEME

3. SELF CERTIFICATION FOR FIRST SEVEN DAYS OF ABSENCE

Doctors do not give certificates of incapacity for work for absences of seven calendar days or less. All civil servants must therefore complete a self-certificate (in the form provided at Annex E 1) detailing the reasons for all sick absences up to and including seven calendar days. Once the sick absence exceeds seven calendar days, medical evidence in the form of a doctor's certificate must be produced.

If a doctor is consulted within the first seven days of incapacity and is satisfied that the civil servant will be unable to work for longer than seven days, the doctor may issue a medical certificate which covers only the forward period in which case the civil servant must complete a self-certificate for the first seven days.
