FAQ
Can my retail manager require a sick note in BC?
Not for your first 5 paid sick days per year under BC's ESA. For absences beyond those protected days, your employer may request documentation.
Do retail chains in BC accept online sick notes?
Yes. Major retailers (Walmart, Loblaws, Save-On-Foods, London Drugs, etc.) all accept documentation from CPSBC-registered physicians.
Can I get a sick note between shifts?
Yes. MedLetter is available 24/7. Submit your request between shifts and receive your note within 6 hours.
What if my manager says online notes aren't valid?
They're incorrect. Direct them to verify the physician's CPSBC registration. Virtual care documentation is equally valid under BC law.
Is $49 worth it on a retail salary?
Consider: a walk-in clinic visit costs 3-5 hours of lost wages plus potential clinic fees ($30-$75). MedLetter saves you time and money.
