The Absence Manager line 0330 818 6439 is for reporting and managing sickness leave.
This is a change. Absence Manager is to be used only if you are recording these absence types:
- sickness
- planned surgery
You do not need to use Absence Manager if you are recording any of the following absence types:
- carer's leave
- dependent’s leave
- bereavement leave
- compassionate leave
For these cases, you must contact your manager directly who must then log those absence types in Roster.
Absence Manager exists to back up our Supporting Attendance policy, and if colleagues are not sure how to use the system, training is available. If you need any support to use the system, view the resources on the YourSpace site at https://yourspace.merseycare.nhs.uk/absence-manager or contact absence
