The Absence Fit Note batch job is a standard SelectHR process that automatically starts the fit note workflow for a sickness absence when an employee has passed their self-certification period.
The batch job looks for sickness absences where the employee has exceeded their allowed number of self-certified days and no fit note has yet been recorded. When these conditions are met, it triggers the workflow by sending an email and creating a task for the HR team to enter the fit note details.
If required, fit notes can also be recorded manually outside of the workflow by following the steps below.
Click Absence, then click Absence.
Click Absence History, then click the relevant employee.
Click into the sickness record.
Click the Fit Note tab.
Complete the form, then click Save.
