Whether you run an HR department or a university admissions office, the question is the same: is this absence genuine, and where’s the evidence? Traditionally, answering it meant waiting on GP appointments that take weeks. Increasingly, organisations are accepting a better answer — doctor-verified online sick notes.
1. Appointment backlogs leave staff and students unable to produce proof.
2. HR can’t distinguish genuine absence from misuse without documentation.
3. Missing certificates turn routine absences into formal disputes.
4. Self-certification periods are easily stretched when no verification exists.
Flu outbreaks in winter, hay fever in spring, heat exhaustion in summer and stomach bugs year-round — each season brings its own wave of absence and its own pile of missing paperwork.
