Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a sick cert?

A sick cert documents your absence; a fit-to-work cert documents your readiness to return. Many HR processes require both.

Can the doctor recommend phased return?

Yes — the cert can specify reduced hours, light duties, or specific accommodations for a defined period.

Is this acceptable to occupational health?

In most workplaces, yes. Larger employers may also require an internal OH review; check your contract or HR policy.

Can you do this for a new job offer?

Yes for low-risk office roles. Roles with statutory medical requirements need an in-person examination.

How quickly do I get the certificate?

Within minutes of your consultation finishing — emailed as a signed PDF.

How much does it cost?

€34.99 flat — including the consultation, certificate, and any re-issue if HR needs minor wording changes.
