Fit note issue

[Adverseworksituation]

Having a few issues with my employer re self certifying/BUPA fit note that they are not accepting. They Requested an NHS GP fit note that i submitted yesterday but now no response as to whether this is accepted or not. Now I have an NHS fit note,and it’s submitted, do I need to do anything else re contact with my employer about contact tomorrow re sickness or not. I did ask for a time to call them to discuss/them
contact me with no reply. Many thanks

Any guidance would be appreciated.

If your fit notes says you’ll be off for xx amount of time, I’d say you’ve given the employer what the need?

I would just leave it now - you’ve sent what they’ve requested and if they need anything else, they should let you know.

They have to accept the NHS fit note.

I think you might need to check the company sick leave policy to see what their rules are about contact during sick leave.

I have been in contact re sick leave every day. I have done what has been requested but no response today to accept my NHS fit note. I guess I’ll just have to contact them tomorrow as unfit to work until they reply.

Bupa/ private notes arent MED3 forms which are accepted by NHS/DWP for stat sick pay which is why they need a GP one. The NHS GP fit note will be accepted and all pay shoukd be back dated to the date on the note so youll be fine xx

Thank you everyone.
