Obviously if the "consultant" means your entire company then there is no way you can get a doctor to give a sick note.
If it means the individual from your company doing the work then you can supply it.
The client may just want to confirm whether you have something contagious like TB or measles."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Has One Ever Been Asked for a Doctor's Certificate?
Originally posted by snarfblat View PostReading through the stories here made me think of a time where I was contracting and missed about a week with the flu.
I told them I was returning on x day and the agency asks me for a doctor's certificate. I had to laugh.
I ignored the request but I really wanted to say, are you planning on paying me for those days?
Have you been asked for a doctor's certificate when you are not an employee?
Were you really to have had "flu" though, you would have missed at least two-weeks at work.Comment

So would you just ignore them if they asked for one? I'm not an employee. I don't get paid if I am not working.Comment
