Every HR team knows the situation: a team member is off sick, policy requires evidence, and the evidence is stuck behind a two-week GP wait. The absence is probably genuine — but “probably” doesn’t satisfy an audit, a payroll run or a disputes process.
Simply Sick exists to resolve exactly this: legally valid, employer-accepted certificates issued by UK-registered doctors, usually within hours.
● Confirm absences are legitimate and policy-compliant.
● Unlock Statutory Sick Pay processing.
● Deter misuse of leave.
● Protect workplace health by keeping contagious staff home.
● Inform sensible return-to-work planning.
1. Documentation delayed by appointment backlogs.
2. Paper notes that are slow to process and easy to lose.
3. Generic wording that leaves decisions unclear.
4. Mental-health absences left undocumented altogether.
✅ Same-day digital certificates with doctor details for easy verification.
✅ GDPR-compliant, encrypted handling of employee data.
✅ Validity for SSP, HR records and absence policies.
✅ Coverage of short-term illness through to longer absences, physical and mental health alike.
As digital documentation becomes the norm, employers who accept verified online notes close disputes faster and support their staff better. Simply Sick makes that the easy option — for you and your team.
