Sickness
The University's Sickness Absence Policy sets out the various responsibilities for reporting and managing sickness absence.
iTrent complements the existing processes by providing a confidential and secure system for maintaining important informaiton on staff affected by ill-health.
Benefits of using iTrent self service to record sickness abence
- it's a simple way of maintaining sickness records and reducing the need for paper-based systems
- as soon as sickness is closed, the Payroll Office receive a notification. This means that normal pay can be restored, thus preventing delays that occur with the paper system
- sickness records are automatically updated
Changes to sickness absence reason categories
The sickness absence reason categories within iTrent have changed from 18 March 2013 to a more comprehensive set of categories developed by the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) for the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
