Fit Note After 7 Days Workflow
In the UK, an employee can self-certify sickness for 7 calendar days or less. If the absence lasts more than 7 calendar days, they should provide a fit note. Sense can wait until that threshold is reached before sending the fit-note task and reminder.
How it works
The reminder is timed around the UK fit-note threshold rather than asking for medical evidence too early.
1
Record qualifying sickness
Record a sickness type configured to require a fit note.
2
Check sickness daily
Sense checks the active sickness each day.
3
End within 7 days
If the sickness ends within the first 7 calendar days, the workflow ends.
4
Send fit-note task
If it continues beyond 7 calendar days, Sense sends the fit-note task and notifications.
