Your child is sick and you need to stay home. Get the documentation your employer needs, without dragging your sick kid to a clinic.
Parents in Alberta often face an impossible choice: take your sick child to a walk-in clinic just to get a note for your employer, or risk disciplinary action at work. Our service eliminates this problem. You can get documentation for family responsibility leave without leaving your home or exposing your sick child to a waiting room full of other sick people.
Alberta's Employment Standards Code provides up to 5 days of job-protected personal and family responsibility leave per year. This includes caring for a sick child. Your employer can request documentation, and a note confirming you needed to provide care for a dependent is legally sufficient.
You need a note for yourself confirming you were required to provide care for a sick dependent. We issue this type of documentation.
Yes. If your child's illness requires multiple days of care, we can issue a note covering the full period (up to 5 days per request).
Alberta law protects your right to family responsibility leave. If your employer refuses to accept legitimate documentation, they may be in violation of Employment Standards.
No. Only the parent who stayed home from work needs documentation. One note per absence is sufficient.
Yes. MedLetter can provide documentation for your child based on your description of their symptoms. This is especially useful when your child is too sick to travel to a clinic or when clinic wait times are excessive.
Yes. Schools across Canada accept medical documentation from licensed physicians regardless of whether the consultation was virtual or in-person. Our notes include all information schools typically require.
MedLetter provides documentation for medical absences only. For family emergencies, contact your school directly as most have separate policies for non-medical absences.
Most provinces allow up to 5 consecutive days with a single note. For longer absences, additional documentation may be required. MedLetter can provide extended absence documentation when medically appropriate.
MedLetter provides documentation for the child patient. For parents needing time off to care for a sick child, your employer may accept the child sick note as justification. Some provinces (like Ontario) have specific family responsibility leave provisions.
Yes. Licensed daycares across Canada accept medical documentation from any registered physician. Our notes confirm the child was unwell and include return-to-care clearance when requested.
New sick-note requests are temporarily paused while we review our service. We are not accepting new orders at this time.
