Sick Note for Gig & Freelance Workers
No employer benefits. No paid sick days. But you still need documentation for clients, platforms, and insurance claims.
Why Gig & Freelance Workers Workers Need Sick Notes
- Clients may require documentation for missed deadlines
- Platform workers (Uber, Skip, DoorDash) need absence documentation
- Insurance claims for lost income require medical proof
- No employer-provided sick leave means every day off costs money
- Contract cancellation protection requires documentation
Common Reasons
- Illness preventing safe driving (rideshare/delivery)
- Injury preventing physical gig work
- Mental health affecting creative/freelance output
- COVID requiring isolation from clients
- Voice loss for tutors/consultants
FAQ
I do not have a traditional employer - who is the note addressed to?
We can address the note generically ('To Whom It May Concern') or to a specific client/platform. Specify in your submission who needs to see the documentation.
Can I use this for an insurance claim?
Yes. Our sick notes are issued by a CPSA-registered physician and are accepted by insurance companies for income protection and disability claims.
I drive for Uber/Skip - will they accept this?
Yes. If your account is questioned due to inactivity, a sick note from a licensed physician provides legitimate documentation of your absence.
Can I claim this as a business expense?
Medical documentation fees may be deductible as a business expense for self-employed individuals. Consult your accountant for your specific situation.
