Why Construction Workers Workers Need Sick Notes

Common Reasons for Construction Workers Sick Notes

Employer Policies

Most Alberta construction companies require a sick note after 1-2 missed shifts. Site supervisors accept notes from any licensed physician. Safety regulations prohibit working while impaired.

Shift Work Considerations

Construction shifts typically run 6am-4pm or earlier. By the time a walk-in clinic opens at 9am, you have already missed half your shift. Online notes eliminate this timing problem.

Average clinic wait time: Morning walk-in wait: 2-3 hours (opens at 9am, you are already 3 hours late). MedLetter: submit at 5am, receive by 8am.. Skip the wait with MedLetter — get your sick note delivered same day from home.

How It Works

  1. Fill out the online form describing your symptoms (2 minutes)
  2. A CPSA-registered Alberta physician reviews your request
  3. Your signed sick note is delivered to your email same day (same day)

Frequently Asked Questions

My foreman wants a note by tomorrow morning - can you help?

Yes. Submit your request now and you can typically expect your note same day. Forward it to your foreman immediately upon receipt.

Can I get a note for a workplace injury?

We can provide documentation for illness or minor injury. For WCB claims or serious workplace injuries, you should visit a clinic or hospital for proper documentation and treatment.

I work on a remote site with no cell service during the day

Submit your request when you have connectivity (evening, morning, or on your way to/from site). The note will be delivered to your email and available when you next check.

Is 9 worth it vs going to a clinic?

A clinic visit costs you 3-5 hours of lost wages (at -50/hr construction rates, that is -250 in lost income). Our 9 fee saves you money AND time.
