PLEASE NOTE! The certificate only applies to the employment of a partially disabled person by a large employer.
- You can request the certificate from employment services.
- You can also request the certificate afterwards if the medical certificate and entries about your health were taken care of prior to the start of your employment.
- The certificate may be issued retroactively at any point during the first five years of your employment.
- You will deliver the certificate to your employer.
