Doctor's Note for Target Team Members: What Target Accepts
Target's attendance policy is less publicized than Amazon's or Walmart's, but it's still points-based. Unexcused absences accumulate, and too many lead to corrective action. A doctor's note from a licensed physician excuses the absence — and you don't need to drag yourself to urgent care to get one.
What Target requires for excused absences
Target requires documentation from a licensed healthcare provider for absences due to illness. The note should include your name, the dates you were absent, and a physician's signature confirming you were unable to work. No diagnosis is required — Target HR cannot ask why you were sick, only that a doctor confirmed you needed time off.
Can Target reject a telehealth doctor's note?
No. Telehealth documentation carries the same legal weight as in-person documentation. Target's policy requires a note from a licensed healthcare provider — it does not specify that the provider must have seen you in person. A note signed by a board-certified physician with a verifiable NPI number and state medical license is a legitimate medical document.
If a manager pushes back, ask them to show you the specific policy that excludes telehealth documentation. They won't find one.
