Description

The Record of Absence/Self-Certification Form is designed to document periods of sickness absence, particularly relevant for employees who may be working sick or ill with COVID. This form must be filled out by the employee, requiring essential details such as their name, job title, payroll number, and certification of absence dates. Users can specify reasons for absence, which include a range of health-related issues from viral infections to critical illnesses, giving employers insight into absenteeism trends. Clear instructions are provided for notifying management about illness promptly to avoid pay issues and for submitting a medical certificate after absences exceeding seven days. The purpose of this form extends to managing confidentiality while monitoring employee health trends. Its utility is particularly significant for attorneys, partners, and legal assistants as it ensures compliance with workplace policies, provides documentation for potential legal matters, and supports the understanding of employee rights and responsibilities. Paralegals and legal assistants can use this form to assist with case management involving workplace health regulations, helping to maintain accurate records and facilitate discussions on employee support.
