FAQ
Do all BC employers accept online sick notes?
Yes. Under BC law, employers must accept medical documentation from any CPSBC-registered physician regardless of consultation format.
What information does the sick note include?
MedLetter documentation confirms the dates of absence and that the absence was medically warranted. It does not disclose your specific diagnosis to your employer.
Can my employer reject an online sick note?
No. BC employers cannot discriminate against medical documentation based on how the consultation was conducted. CPSBC-registered physician documentation is valid.
Can I get a sick note for yesterday?
Yes. MedLetter can provide documentation for recent absences when clinically appropriate. Complete the questionnaire and describe your symptoms and timeline.
