Question:
What information should a valid medical certificate contain?
Answer:
A valid medical certificate should be clear and readable. It should be issued only by a registered medical practitioner, showing the name and address of the medical centre the practitioner is affiliated with. It should be addressed to the recipient of the certificate, include the date the assessment/appointment took place, and the date up until the employee is deemed unfit to work (or the length of time the employee is deemed unfit to work). A medical certificate should be signed (and stamped) by the relevant practitioner.
