English translation:documentation of absenteeism
Explanation:
If you use google you'll find out that this phrase is used about 588.000 times. But I'm not sure this is used in law or in employ contracts. You can give it a try.

Yes Bjørnar, you're right. There are only 16, but is it the right translation?

Medical absence form


Explanation:
This term is sometimes used, but terminology varies from place to place, and company to company. This would be a reasonable generic term.

sick note


Explanation:
I would think this is the commonest term in the UK. Could also be called a sickness certificate or doctor's certificate.

disagree  Bjørnar Magnussen: You have to put the term in quotation marks when you Google. Then you will relalize that it gets only 16 hits.

sick leave form


Explanation:
This would be my recommendation when the document is to be filled out by an employee. As far as I know, sick notes, medical absence forms, and - obviously - doctor's certificates are all filled out by a doctor.
Hope this helps.... :-)
