If you can't work because you're sick or injured, you should tell your line manager as soon as possible on your first day off. If you are off for between four and seven days, you need to fill in a personal sickness certificate and give to your line manager at the first available opportunity.

If you are signed off as being ‘unfit to work’ by your GP or other registered Health Professional, then you need to forward this certificate to your line manager at the first available opportunity. 

Your absence will be recorded on the ‘web absences’ system which is managed by Pay Services.

There is further information on sickness absence on the Intranet here: https://intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/hr/leave/health/sick-leave.aspx
