Default Called in sick

Hi, I have been sick for a couple of days and now my employer wants a note from my doctor. I don't have a note because I didn't go to see my doctor...
What should I do?

Well, an employer is allowed to ask for a note from your doctor that you needed a personal leave and the employee is required to provide such a note. What you can do is go to your doctor and explain the situation. Is your employer very keen to get a note from you?

I didn't think about it when I got sick. I'm smelling trouble if I don't give a note. Do you think I can get fired because of this?

They can not fire you if your sick leave is personal emergency. Did you talk to your doctor?

I'm curious. Where I am, if you go to a doctor and ask for it,, he'll give you sick leave - even backdated: Its very logical when you think about it.

Won't a Doctor in Canada do this for you?
