1) Make sure the city's name is correctly spelled (twice).
2) It helps to use offices that actually exist, with valid names, addresses, and phone numbers.
3) Don't Google image search "fake doctors note" and use the first image as a template.

Any other suggestions?

If he's a decent employee and this is what he had to do to get some time off then your company sucks.

If this is regular behavior then fire em.

None of the dates should be typed, only handwritten.

Should have a return to work condition, as well as date.

4) A real note wouldn't have a typed patient name and dates but use manually-checked choices.

Where is Dr. Salvatore's signature?

Why is there a "/" after 15 down near the bottom?

Why isn't there a header?

Why is "Av." abbreviated like that?

Why when I called the phone number it was another employees mother who answered the phone?

So many questions

The company is flexible with things like absences/early dismissals when it involves worker's kids/family, appointments, court dates, etc as long as there's something in writing. That saves on their vacation/personal days. I'd have to look up what he had left but my guess is little to none.

That part is OK if I anticipate that the patient will need a few days to convalesce, but at that point
we'll usually fill out the full FLMA paperwork when there are several days out like that.

4.  Go work somewhere that doesn't require me to have a doctor's note to take sick time because I'm not in fucking elementary school anymore
5.  Hire better people, pay and treat them like adults and you won't have this problem.  
6. OR you could just start a thread bitching about how everyone is lazy because they don't want to slave away for an employer that treats them like shit and pays them $7.50 an hour
7.  This has never been a problem anywhere I've ever worked so maybe I'm not crazy in my assumptions.  
8.  Don't let #7 stop you from telling me I'm wrong.

What is this highshcool? Why on Earth do you require a MD's note for an employee that missed work? Employee misses work, they use your sick/PTO time. That is what it is for. Who cares whether the employee was on his/her deathbed with meningitis, just hung over, or faking it and hanging out on the beach all day. And if the employee has exhausted all his/her sick/PTO time and continues to call off you replace them.

That's nice dear. Please refer to where I said we were flexible with stuff that pops up outside the normal boundaries of vacation/personal time, but an unexcused absence (in this case multiple) is just that without anything to back it up.

Other than requiring a note what happens when you take a 3rd sick day? Do you use up your accrued vacation/PTO time? Just an unpaid day off?  At my work we just have PTO (paid time off), and you use it for whatever reason you need a day off for, whether it is because you are sick, going on vacation, etc. Requiring an employee to bring in a doctor's note for missed work is asinine. The employee missed work, who cares why. If the employee has the sick time/PTO available, then that is what it exists for. If they don't, and they use more time off than accrued, you replace them with someone more dependable.

It really depends on the level of the employees you are working with.  The engineers I have, if they say they are sick, and need to be home, I believe them.  When I managed bartenders, if they called out sick too often, they needed to bring a note. Especially if they screwed up and told their coworkers how nice the beach/party/date night was on the nights they were stricken with scarlet fever and bedridden.
