One of the advantages to having a former police officer and private investigator as a paralegal in your office is you learn tidbits of very useful information you would not look up yourself.  Example:  Larry Nelson in our office told us about a website that sells false doctors’ excuses.  What?!?  Fake doctors’ excuses?!?  This is information we need to share with our readers!  Especially employers, investigators and adjusters!

The website is http://www.alibinetwork.com/printabledoctorsexcuses.jsp#signup and it is part of the Alibi Network.  For a mere $75 per year, a person can receive unlimited printable doctor’s excuses for being absent, such as a doctor’s note or out of work letter. For an additional charge, the person can get a virtual doctor’s office with phone number and fax. That means that if the employer calls to confirm the excuse, they get an extension to a doctor or nurse. Talk about sophisticated operations!  Does practicing medicine without a license sound familiar???

Most employees are honest and present legitimate excuses.  Only a few would go to the trouble of paying $75 to a website for a single excuse, so this website isn’t for the occasional offender.  However, if the employee is chronically out, needs multiple excuses, or is providing excuses to others, this is a useful site.  Every employer and carrier needs to be aware of it.
