Do I have to pay for a sick note off my doctor if I'm off sick?

If you went to see a doctor he probably won't charge you for a sick note.  If you did not visit a doctor, then yes, you'll have to pay when you go see him to ask for a sick note.  Doctor's offices will not provide sick notes if you have not been in to see the doctor.

not if you have a doctors note for taking it.

NO you need a lawyer. Or you can go back to your doctor get a statement saying a week off and then file for workers comp.

The Health Department may ask to come and test everyone at your work anyway, but don't worry about it unless you start feeling unwell.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

If you have a copy of the note from your doctor and you have something in writing from your employer (like an employee handbook) that says you get sick pay, you are entitled to it.  Further, in California, if you do not get paid within 72 hours of leaving your employment, you continue to get a "penalty" of 8 times your hourly wage per day for every day up to 30 days after you leave.  I just got $7,800.00 yesterday at my hearing.\n\nI suggest you go to your local Labor Commissioners office (look on their website) and file a complaint (it's a simple one-page form).  You'll get a hearing date in the mail within a couple weeks which will tell you when your "conference" is.  \n\nGood Luck!

It depends. Yes, If it is a life threatening situation, go to the financial dept. of your hospital and tell them your need a application in which the government will pay all or part of your bill (it's based on your income). THey have it. It's a federal law.  Good Luck.

Absolutely not. Your medical records are private. You can press charges against your employer in a court of law.

No.  Being sick drains your body.  Still drink lots of fluids and give your body some time to rest.  Wait a couple of days before going back to your normal routine.

No.  If you have a medical need and are referred by you GP it is free...;

you should ask your doctor and if it's not right you should take day off of workand ask someone to take care of you.

u can tell him whether or not u r going to see a dr. and when u r returning. u don't have to tell him whats wrong with u, u can simply say i am not feeling well. your health is your personal business, u don't have to tell him a diagnosis.

Even better than that, say you have an ear or sinus infection.  Getting a doctor's note is good too.  But they can't make you get in with an ear infection, and it's not as embarrasing as the other stuff.  You could also say you have ringworm.  That might work.

This situation depends on your contract with your employer.  Usually it is spelled out. Understand that if you are under doctors orders to stay home, and they insist you work, and something bad happens....that creates a tort.  You could sue them and win.\n\nSo, to prevent this from happening, various employers have strict rules about this sort of thing.  Most will not allow employees to work if they don't have medical clearance (ie a doctor says its not ok to work there).  Ask your boss's boss.  Likely, your boss is doing something against company policy.

Sounds like something you need to discuss with your doctor.  Your employer may require something from the doc stating your health does not prevent you from performing the job duties required  of you.

If you're getting benefits from short-term disability, there is a time frame for the benefits to be paid. \n\nIf you're receiving Workman's Compensation payments, your state's rules about how much you'll be paid and how long you'll be paid will determine when your payments will stop. \n\nReturning to work is something you and your doctor need to agree on. Make sure you bring the HR person from work into that conversation, so you can reach an agreement about when it's okay with your doctor, and absolutely necessary for your company to have you back. \n\nThe comp, or compensation payments need to be understood by you. Talk to the HR person at work or to your counselor at Job Service for the facts. Rumors from co-workers just cause hard feelings, and often aren't even close to true. \n\nGood luck, and feel better! - Stuart
