Backdated Medical Certificates
A backdated medical certificate is a document issued by a doctor or medical professional that states that a person has been suffering from an illness or injury since a certain date in the past. This certificate is typically used to provide evidence that an employee was unable to work for a certain period of time due to an illness or injury. It may also be used to attain benefits or other forms of compensation for the period of time in which the employee was unable to work.
When is a Backdated Medical Certificate Needed?
Backdated medical certificates may be needed in a variety of situations.
