Many simple requests get a doctor's review in around 40 minutes.
Seafood Peeling Sheds
Peelers, mostly women, work for hours with their hands in ice and cold water, cleaning prawns and squid for export. Cracked skin, fungal infections and joint pain are common. Workers covered by ESI need an ESI doctor's certificate for sickness benefit. For ordinary proof of illness, ask your supervisor.
Fishing Harbours
Crews at Arthunkal, Thottappally and the coastal villages go out before dawn in rough weather. Cuts, chest infections and exhaustion are common. If a boat owner or co-op wants proof you were unwell, you can apply online.
Ferry and Boat Crews
Government ferry crews follow their department's leave rules. Private boat and shikara crews usually need a short certificate if an owner wants proof.
Nurses and Hospital Staff
Nurses and support staff at the medical college and private hospitals should check HR's rules first. Some hospitals want a certificate from their own doctor.
Offices and Teachers
Bank and office staff often need a certificate after two days off. Kerala government staff and teachers should check their department's leave rules first.
What to Write
Mention when you got ill, how you feel, any temperatures you've noted, what you've taken and the dates.
Leptospirosis and Floods
Low-lying areas flood every monsoon, and leptospirosis is a real risk for anyone wading through water. A fever with muscle pain or red eyes after contact with floodwater needs a doctor in person.
A Peeler's Request
A prawn peeler at a shed near Aroor gets a chest infection in July. Her supervisor wants a certificate for four days. She applies, lists the cough and fever, and says she isn't breathless. The doctor reviews it and signs a certificate for the days that match.

Leave for a Family Member
If you need leave because a family member is admitted at the medical college or in Kochi or Kottayam, rather than being ill yourself, ask for a caretaker certificate.
