If the doctor is satisfied that the person is sick, they will issue a sick note that allows the patient to take paid leave from work. The online certificate costs around €14 or the user can pay €5 extra to receive it by post. An 'Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung', or sick note, which the employee submits to their employer after receiving it from a doctor. Because it gives the impression that the sick note applied for fulfils all legal requirements for a certificate of incapacity for work. When do I need a doctor's note to stay off work in Germany?
