Absence Trigger Report

The Absence Trigger report will display any staff member who has been absent due to illness for a period 14 working days over a rolling 12 month period. When a staff member reaches this point they will appear on this report prompting you as their line manager or person responsible for monitoring sickness within your section or Department to hold a Return to Work Interview.

Trigger Report

Guidance on holding a Return to Work Interview can be found under the 'Management Guidance - Sickness Absence Management Policy' section availiable from the 'quick links' to the right of the screen.

Alternativley please do not hesitate to contact your customary Senior/HR Adviser within Human Resources. Contact details can be found here.

Once held, the date of the Return to Work Interview should be recorded on the report above in the relevant field. It should also be indicated if any further action was required following the meeting. Once recorded you should click the Interview Done button which will then remove the staff member from the report.
