Absence Manager starts soon

Absence Manager launches on 25 September 2023.

All unplanned absences from then must be reported by calling 0330 818 6439. Please record this number down. You will also need your assignment number (this can be found on your payslip ).

This call is the only one you need to make, your managers will be informed from the information provided on that call. It’s an automatic service. Your manager then can call you back to discuss further details at a more convenient time.

Preparing for full Trust roll out

We need you to complete the following actions which will ensure that your team is ready to start using the new Absence Manager system.

1. Check that your team hierarchy is correct on ESR. You can do this by following the guide attached.
2. Log into the Empactis for the first time using password reset (see the attached document for more information) using this link https://login.empactisapp.com/
3. Check that your direct reports (including email address) are correct

Information and User Guides

You can see all the attached manager guides (below) for managers and employee.

Demo sessions and Additional Training

In addition to the eLearning package will be holding demo sessions via Microsoft Teams. These can be found in the prospectus under section 8.

Additional Manager set up

Managers will be notified about absences for their direct reports. Additional manager can also be set up for all staff within a unit (e.g. MHC - Administration - North Mersey (186002)) or for specific individual staff. This will allow additional managers to complete manager tasks such as call back and return to work discussions.

To request an additional manager access for a team or individual staff please complete the table below and send to absence.manager@merseycare.nhs.uk

*Additional Manager access for a Team will include everyone assigned to that team.
