The doctors line doesn't have to be there on the day it starts. As long as the line covers you from day 8 of your sick time, you're covered. You don't have to hand it in to him you can post it to your manager, but i would recommend Special Delivery, that way you can track it and your manager can't deny receiving it.

I once faxed one in from my partners firm (well she did it on my behalf) :left:

Then put the original in the post.
