Reporting Staff Absence

If you are unable to attend work you must contact both your line manager and also leave a message on the Staff Absence Reporting Line: 01695 52303 no later than an hour before your normal start time, stating the reason for your absence and likely return to work date.  This must be repeated on the day that you return to work.

Throughout the absence period, colleagues will need to keep their manager informed on a daily basis. If your absence is covered by a fit note from a GP, you should provide an update on a weekly basis or by agreement with your manager. If you do not contact your manager, your manager will contact you in order to obtain an update and remind you of reporting obligations. It is important that colleague’s keep their personal contact details up to date in iTrent self-service (ESS).

Where the sickness absence ends and the colleague is not due to return to work, for example, due to a college closure period or planned annual leave, the colleague should notify both their manager and also leave a message on the Staff Absence Reporting Line so the absence record can be updated.
