The Absence – Self Certification workflow is automatically triggered by a batch job called Absence Self Certification. This process checks for any sickness absences that are equal to or shorter than the number of self-certifiable days set against an employee’s record.
If the absence meets the criteria, the workflow is triggered, and the employee is prompted to complete a self certification form.
Self certification process
The batch job identifies employees with sickness absences that are equal to or shorter than their self-certifiable allowance (by default, five days).
Eligible employees receive an email notification prompting them to complete a self-certification form for the absence.
The employee completes the form by either accessing the task from their task list in SelectHR or by clicking the link provided in the email. Once submitted, the self-certification details are recorded in the employee’s absence history.
The employee’s manager then receives an email notification confirming that the self-certification has been completed.
