UK workplace admin

Work out the likely next step in a UK sick leave and fit note situation.

FitNote Path turns a messy absence scenario into a cleaner proof, pay, holiday, and return-to-work summary. It is built for employees who just need the next practical step fast.

Clarifies the self-certification versus fit note threshold
Flags SSP, holiday-overlap, and long-term-sickness watch-outs
Translates “may be fit for work” into practical next moves

Important: this is a plain-language guide to common UK rules, not legal advice, payroll advice, or a benefit entitlement decision.

How long has the current sickness run lasted? What is your work status? What proof do you have right now? Does it overlap annual leave? Has your employer asked for early proof? Would a return need workplace changes?

Designed for sick leave admin clarity in minutes, especially when HR, payroll, and a fit note all start colliding at once.

Why this exists

People often lose time not because the sickness rules are impossible, but because the next step is buried in admin language.

FitNote Path compresses the practical GOV.UK rules around proof, SSP, holiday overlap, and return planning into one browser-first summary. It is especially useful when you are well enough to handle admin, but not well enough to decode several pages of guidance calmly.
