New way to record sickness absence

30 May 2023

From Wednesday, 31 May 2023, the way colleagues record sickness absence is changing

University Place

All employees are required to record their sickness absence through MyView, unless advised otherwise by your line manager. This is the same platform you use to view your pay records and submit expenses.

Thankfully, most of us do not need to use the new system immediately or frequently, however, we invite you to take the time to familiarise yourself with the new process. 

How to record sickness absence

  • Continue to contact your line manager through your agreed channel to let them know if you will not be able to work.
  • Once you have contacted your line manager you will need to submit your sickness record in MyView.
  • Before submitting your sickness record, please check that your line manager is correct, especially if there have been recent changes in your team. If it needs to be updated, please contact your line manager and they will be able to request the change through MyView.
  • For short-term sickness you should record your absence as soon as possible, or at the latest when you return to work. For longer term sickness your line manager can record an absence on your behalf if you are unable to. 

There is further information available to walk you through the new process. This includes videos, step-by-step guides and answers to frequently asked questions.
