My former place required (and i heard still requires) notes from day one. Guess what? All the time, people went on sick leave at least for a week - gotta pay off the effort to get a note, right? (This was before telemed though. Loved when it became available: Just answer a few questions via forms, submit - get the PDF one hour later. Beats having to take public transport to your GP who is located 30-40min away, while feeling miserable and unfit for driving yourself) Current place wears their reasonable pants, and this is basically standard procedure: just give a quick info if you can't work today and maybe tomorrow; notes required from day three.
