Recording COVID-19 absence update
Information for line managers on recording coronavirus absence…
Last month, we told you about the process you have to follow if a member of your team is off sick due to COVID-19.
In addition to this, and following some queries, the HR team would like to clarify the details on self-certification (or Fit Notes):
- Staff do not need to provide a Fit Note for the first 14 days’ COVID related sickness absence
- If a member of your team is off work for longer than 14 days, due to COVID related absence, they will need to provide a Fit Note.
If you have any further questions, contact the HR Advisory team.
