The Employee Medical Certificate For Sick Leave is a crucial document in Pakistan's employment ecosystem, required under various labor laws including the Factories Act 1934 and provincial employment regulations. It serves as an official medical verification when employees need to take time off work due to illness or injury. The certificate must be issued by a registered medical practitioner and typically includes the nature of illness (within confidentiality limits), duration of recommended leave, and expected recovery period. This document is essential for protecting both employer and employee interests, facilitating proper leave documentation, and ensuring compliance with labor laws while enabling employees to access their sick leave benefits. It may also be required for social security claims and maintaining employment records.
