Employee absenteeism is facing a new challenge as digital sick certificates can be obtained without any physical check-ups or consultations, with costs ranging from €25 to €45. Some medical websites are advertising these certificates, challenging traditional employer protocols as they accept them despite their rejection by the Department of Social Protection for social welfare schemes. The ease of obtaining these certificates raises concerns about misuse by employees seeking time off without legitimate health reasons, calling into question the trust between employers and staff.
With no physical check-up required, employees can get sick certificates issued digitally for a few euros, undermining the integrity of workplace absence policies.
Digital sick certificates are being sold online between €25 and €45, allowing individuals to circumvent traditional medical consultations and employer trust.
