Ontario will do away with sick note requirements for short absences.
The province is expected to introduce legislation that if passed, will no longer allow bosses and managers to ask for a sick note from a doctor for the provincially protected three days of sick leave workers are entitled to.
It’s part of a larger effort to ease the administrative burden on doctors.
The province is also expanding a program that uses artificial intelligence to summarize or transcribe conversations with patients to more than 150 primary care providers.
