The certificate of incapacity for work is a confirmation from a doctor or dentist of a diagnosed illness that prevents an employee from performing the work agreed in the employment contract. One of the employee’s secondary contractual obligations in the employment relationship – e.g. notification and proof obligations – is to inform the employer immediately of the incapacity to work and its probable duration. Immediately means without culpable hesitation. This also applies if the employee is on holiday.
If the inability to work is expected to last longer than three working days, the employee must also submit a medical certificate (certificate of incapacity to work), which also dates the expected duration of the illness, no later than the following working day, i.e. the fourth day of the illness. The employer is entitled to demand the submission of the medical certificate earlier, cf. also § 5 EntgFG, which is often the case, particularly in the case of marginal employment.
