Doctors at a medical clinic in Pemberton are handing out letters instead of sick notes, asking employers to stop requiring sick notes and wasting people91裸聊视频檚 time.

Local resident Becca Moriarty, 26, posted a photo of the letter to her Facebook page this week, after going in to get a sick note for her boss.

The letter says a policy requiring a sick note for missed time puts an 91裸聊视频渁dded burden91裸聊视频� on the healthcare system, taking up resources that could be used on people are who actually ill.

91裸聊视频淧eople seeking sick notes 91裸聊视频� who otherwise wouldn91裸聊视频檛 see a doctor 91裸聊视频� end up in physicians91裸聊视频� offices, walk-in clinics and emergency department waiting rooms,91裸聊视频� it says. 91裸聊视频淭here, they may spread germs to pregnant women, frail elderly people, cancer patients and babies 91裸聊视频� all of whom are vulnerable to communicable disease.91裸聊视频�

It also says the doctors find it difficult to charge someone for a requirement from their employer, since sick notes aren91裸聊视频檛 insured by MSP, and gives the employer a warning: continue to require medical notes and be prepared to receive a $50 invoice for each one.

91裸聊视频淎s Canadian residents, we are lucky to have our healthcare system, but citizens91裸聊视频� inability to access the systems services in a timely fashion is a growing problem,91裸聊视频� the letter says. 91裸聊视频淚 hope you will consider changing your current absenteeism policy to help reduce the unnecessary burden on our health-care system and improve access for all British Columbians.91裸聊视频�

When she handed the letter to her boss, she said the reaction was 91裸聊视频渃omplete confusion.91裸聊视频�

Moriarty 91裸聊视频� who works in the food industry 91裸聊视频� added she sees both sides to the issue of sick notes.

91裸聊视频淚 understand the employer needs to know, but that comes down to: we91裸聊视频檙e adults, this isn91裸聊视频檛 school anymore, I don91裸聊视频檛 need a note from my mom saying I91裸聊视频檓 not going to be at school,91裸聊视频� she said, adding she91裸聊视频檇 much rather be at work making money than sick at home.

A person who answered the phone at the clinic said the doctors do not wish to be interviewed.
