Frequently Asked Questions

Will my employer accept an online sick note?

Employers apply their own attendance and documentation rules. Confirm the required format, deadline, and submission route directly with your workplace.

What information may be on documentation?

If documentation is issued, it is limited to what is clinically appropriate and necessary for the request. Employers generally do not need diagnostic details; follow the workplace policy.

Can my employer verify the physician?

The physician's registration details may be available through the applicable public register. Your employer does not receive private clinical details through that process.

How many days can documentation cover?

This service is for eligible acute short-term absences, generally one to five days. A physician decides what is clinically appropriate based on the assessment.

Does my employer have to accept it?

Acceptance and next steps are determined by the employer's policy and applicable rules. Confirm directly what your workplace requires.

Can I request documentation in Ontario without a family doctor?

A family-doctor referral is not required to submit an eligible request. Further assessment may be needed before a physician decides whether documentation is appropriate.

What if my Ontario employer has questions about a document?

Share the document and follow the employer's written policy. Employers apply their own attendance and documentation requirements, so outcomes are recipient-specific.

Can work documentation be used for a university request?

Workplace and academic processes differ. Confirm the university's deadline, form, and academic-consideration process before requesting documentation.

How does MedLetter compare with Ontario walk-in clinics?

MedLetter lists a $49 base fee for eligible short-term requests. Clinic fees, availability, and recipient requirements vary, so compare current details relevant to your situation.
