Correction in the sick leave. Sick leave

The form for temporary disability is an official document that gives the right to receive payment for the period of illness and legally confirms the absence from the workplace. There are many nuances in its design that should be sorted out. For example, the common question “How can I make a correction on the sick leave?” Has a clear answer.

Who can be issued a disability certificate?

Due to the serious control over the issuance of sick leave, not all medical organizations are able to prescribe them. The following institutions are not entitled to draw up sick leave certificates:

1. Blood transfusion stations.
2. Medical Forensic Bureau.
3. Resorts and motels.
4. Workers of medical preventive organizations.
5. Disaster and ambulance medicine staff.
6. Reception departments of hospitals.
7. Supervisory organizations working in the field of consumer protection and their well-being.

A number of listed organizations may issue a certificate that exempts from work, but no payments are made. The medical assistant of the first-aid post at work can give a document stating that the employee was asking for help. The next day the employee goes to the clinic and presents a certificate on the basis of which it is possible to issue a sick leave retroactively.

For whom is sick leave issued?

An official document that confirms the presence of illness and injury is easy to obtain. They have the right to:

1. Patients who filed a complaint or were admitted to the hospital.
2. Employees injured in the workplace.
3. Close relatives caring for a sick child.
4. Relatives caring for an adult patient.
5. Pregnant women.
6. Patients who require a rehabilitation period after surgery.
7. Employees who have been in the quarantine zone.
8. Patients who have removed or prosthetized teeth.

But there are cases when the doctor refuses to fill out a sick leave. For example, in the absence of signs of a disease or in the presence of a chronic disease without a worsening of the condition, which is treated on an outpatient basis by outpatient procedures. Also, the reason for the refusal to issue a sick leave is the passage of a periodic medical examination.

Sick leave

Based on the nature of the disease or the injury received, the length of stay on sick leave varies from 3 days to several months. Consider the general cases:

1. Ambulatory treatment. In the usual case, sick leave is given for 10 days. If the disease persists, the attending physician may extend it up to 30 days. Further, the medical commission is responsible for the extension, which can prescribe a sick leave for up to 12 months, but provided that the patient will undergo it every 30 days.
2. 
   For a period of up to 5 days, a dentist or paramedic may issue a sick leave certificate. They have the ability to extend it to ten. An extension of the period of more than 10 days is the responsibility of the medical commission.
3. A private practitioner can write out sick leave for up to 10 days with an extension of up to 30 days. Further, the medical commission at the place of residence deals with the matter.
4. Inpatient. The patient will be discharged sick leave for the entire period of stay in the hospital.
5. When caring for a sick relative, a certificate is issued for 3 days with the possibility of renewal up to 7 days.
6. When caring for sick children. A hospital certificate is issued to the parent for the entire period of the baby’s illness, only if the child is less than 7 years old, but if the child’s age is between 8 and 15 years old - for a period not exceeding 15 days.

If signs of the disease are found, then a disability certificate is issued by the doctor on the same day. Sometimes you have to draw up a sick leave retroactively. For example, in such cases when the doctor visited the patient at home.

What is the role of the employer?

Sample sick leave includes the following required marks for the employer:

1. Name of the organization. If the employer is an individual entrepreneur, then his last name, first name and patronymic are indicated.
2. Address.
   
3. Form of work (main or part-time).
4. Organization subordination code and registration number.
5. Employee Identification Number.
6. Personal insurance account number.
7. Insurance experience and non-insurance periods (military or other service).
8. Terms of calculation. This item is encrypted with a code from 43 to 51.
9. Average daily wage and average pay for calculating benefits.
10. Amount of payment (including the funds of the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation, as well as the funds of the employer).
11. The total amount.
12. Surname, name, patronymic of the head and chief accountant.
13. Signature.

Correction of sick leave by the employer, unlike the doctor, is possible. In case of an error in the written information, it is necessary to cross out it, and the correct option should be indicated on the back of the sheet. The amendment must be signed, confirmed by seal and date. The correction in the sick leave must be certified with the inscription "Corrected to believe."

Common shortcomings in sick leave

One of the common mistakes is errors in spelling the name, initials of the patient, date of birth. There are also shortcomings in the coincidence of dates in the table "Exemption from work" in the primary certificate and in its continuation, issued in another clinic. Care must be taken to fill in the column "Position of the doctor." If, for example, sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth is registered , then this paragraph should indicate "obstetrician-gynecologist." When a typo is made in the name of the organization, the sick-list is not redone, since it is possible to determine by number.

How can I make a correction on the sick leave?

If it is necessary to delete unnecessary entries in the certificate of incapacity for work, then the employer follows the rules:

1. According to the letter of the FSS of the Russian Federation dated 10/18/12 No. 15-03-14 / 05-12954, on the reverse side of the sheet is marked "Erroneous line is considered blank."
2. Seal and signature of the employer.

If you make corrections to the sick leave incorrectly, then controllers may refuse to pay it.

Disability Certificate

The authenticity of the form can be checked not only by the FSS service, but also by the employer. What can you focus on? Firstly, this is a special paper on which the logo of the FSS of Russia is engraved. Secondly, the front and back sides of the form are blue, and the fields to fill in are light yellow. Thirdly, in the upper right corner there is a twelve-digit identification number of the sheet, in the left corner there is a small white square for applying a two-digit code. And finally, fourthly, the technological number is written on the left side of the spine with magnetic paint. The front side of the form consists of three parts. The doctor fills in the first and third parts, and in the second the employer makes notes. The third part - tear-off, remains in the clinic. The health worker cannot make a correction on the sick leave. In case of an error, the form is invalidated and rewritten.

Registration of sick leave in private clinics

Now there are many organizations offering services in the field of issuing disability certificates. In such firms, you can make sick leave retroactively. For example, if the customer urgently needs to leave the city. Prices depend on the period for which the certificate is issued. On average, for 3 days of sick leave, you will have to pay 1.5 thousand rubles.
