Sick Line/ Self certificate

[albaqwerty]

The young alba came home from work yesterday as he was unwell. He phoned in this morning to say he won't be in today and was told to bring in a sick-line on Monday.
It's my understanding that you have to be off for a week before you need one from the doctor but how would he go about getting a 'sick-line' for a day and a half?

Seems a bit silly to me.

A Fit Note, well, whodathunkit?

I've bookmarked it for him to read later today and he can pop to the library to print one off.
Thank you again OJ.
