WINNIPEG — The group that represents physicians across Manitoba is stepping up its campaign to restrict the use of sick notes. Doctors Manitoba says physicians field requests for more than 600,000 sick notes every year from employees who take time off work, and that takes time away from treating patients. The group is asking the Manitoba government to follow most other provinces and set limits on how employers can demand sick notes.
