You or someone acting on your behalf must notify the relevant person in your department by telephone as soon as possible (normally by 10:00am) on your first day of absence. You will need to give the reason for your absence and the date you expect to return to work and/or agree when you will next be in contact with your department with further information. When you return to work, you will need to complete a self-certification form in MyERP. If your absence lasts for eight consecutive days or more (including weekends), however, you will need to submit a doctor’s certificate covering the total period of your absence. Throughout your absence, you must keep your manager informed about your progress and your likely date of return.
