Frequently Asked Questions
Does Loblaw require a sick note for 1 day off?
Loblaw's policy varies by location and collective agreement, but many stores require documentation after 3 consecutive missed shifts. However, some managers may request a note for any absence. MedLetter can provide documentation for any duration when clinically appropriate.
Will Loblaw accept an online doctor's note?
Yes. Loblaw accepts medical documentation from any licensed Ontario physician, regardless of whether the appointment was in-person or virtual. MedLetter documentation is issued by a CPSO-registered physician and meets all legal requirements.
I work at Shoppers Drug Mart. Can I use MedLetter?
Absolutely. Shoppers Drug Mart is a Loblaw subsidiary and follows similar documentation policies. Our physician-reviewed notes are accepted by all Loblaw-owned brands.
How quickly can I get a note for my Loblaw shift?
Most requests submitted before 3 PM ET are reviewed and delivered the same business day. This is significantly faster than booking a walk-in clinic appointment, which can take hours of waiting.
Does my Loblaw sick note need to include my diagnosis?
No. Under Ontario law, employers cannot require your specific diagnosis. Our documentation confirms you were assessed and that your absence was medically warranted, without disclosing private health information.
