To report your employee’s illness, please use the ‘Report an absence’ feature on the employer portal. You will need an EH3 level eHerkenning account to do this. Alternatively, if you are a Digipoort user, you can notify us of your employee’s illness through your own HR administration system, which is directly linked to our system.
Your employee might return to work for a while during their illness. If this happens, keep the following in mind when calculating the first day of illness:
- If your employee becomes ill within the first 4 weeks of returning to work, the first day of illness will remain the same.
- If your employee becomes ill after having worked 4 weeks in a row, the 42 weeks of illness will start all over again. This means your employee’s first day of illness will change.
We will send you a letter around the 44th week of your employee’s illness. In this letter, we will inform you of your responsibilities in helping your employee return to work.
