How much is a doctor's note in BC?

Walk-in clinics in BC typically charge $20 to $40 for a standard sick note. The provincial health plan covers the medical consultation but not the administrative fee for preparing documentation. Unlike most provinces, BC's Employment Standards Act requires employers to reimburse employees for documentation costs when the employer specifically requested the note.

BC sick note rules in 2026

BC employees are entitled to 5 paid sick days per year under the Employment Standards Act. Employers can request medical documentation for extended absences but cannot require employees to disclose their specific diagnosis. If your BC employer requested the note, they are required to cover the cost.
