From April 2010 the current 'sick note' will be replaced by the Statement of Fitness to Work or 'fit note'.

GPs will be able to offer advice on what work an employee may be able to perform and will be able to suggest adjustments to working arrangements which could be made in order to facilitate an earlier return to work.

This legislation will affect all employers in Great Britain.

Why the change?
