Can my BC employer require a medical sick note?
Under BC's ESA, employers can request 'reasonably sufficient proof' of illness for sick leave. A medical sick note from a CPSBC-registered physician satisfies this requirement.
Is a medical sick note from MedLetter accepted in BC?
Yes. MedLetter medical sick notes are issued by CPSBC-registered physicians and meet all BC Employment Standards Act requirements. The CPSBC fully supports virtual care.
How quickly can I get a medical sick note in BC?
Same-day delivery. Complete a 5-minute online questionnaire and receive your signed documentation within 2-4 hours.
Does a medical sick note disclose my diagnosis?
No. MedLetter medical sick notes confirm that a physician assessed you and that your absence was medically warranted. Your specific diagnosis is not disclosed to your employer.
