We have a team of Irish-certified medical professionals who assess our users’ forms. All the information given is strictly confidential and cannot be shared with anyone else.

Whether you obtain a sick leave certificate online or a fit-to-work medical certificate online, all our medical documents are issued by following the guidelines of Irish State Law. 

Since January 1, 2023, with the passing of the Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) scheme, all Irish employees have had the right to claim their legal minimum sick leaves per year. You are entitled to sick pay even if you are: on probation, undergoing training (interns), an apprentice, or an agency worker who has completed a minimum of 13 continuous working weeks. 

The sick notes signed by our Irish-certified GPs meet all regulatory standards to be accepted by employers and authorities nationwide.
