Notification of sickness absence and return to work discussion form no longer needs to be completed by the employee following their absence but the content of the Return to Work Discussion held should be recorded by their line manager on HROnline using the guidance below.
- From your home screen, select ‘Your staff’
A list of your staff will show on the menu at the side of the page.
- Select the appropriate staff member then click on ‘sickness absence’.
You will see a further 3 options.
- Click on Sickness absence to view a list of each period of absence for that employee.
You will then be able to view the details for each period of absence. Click on any of the absence dates to view the details of it.
- Once you have reviewed the absence details, use the menu drop down to navigate to the return to work form for this specific period of absence.
On the menu, you can check that you have selected the correct employee, and correct period of absence.
- Use the date picker to select the return to work discussion date, absence start date and absence end date.
- Complete the rest of the fields as appropriate and save the form.
- If you believe you have made a mistake while filling out the fields and have already clicked save, then you can go back to the saved one, overwrite the previously filled fields and click save to update it instead of repeating the process and filling out a new one.
Once saved you will get confirmation at the top of the page that the changes have been saved.
You will also see that the return to work discussion form has been saved in the menu.
