Please note that with the introduction of the eAU, most doctors will not hand out AUs in paper form anymore. Instead, we will use the absence data provided by you to request the electronic sick note from your insurance company.
In the exceptional case that you still receive a paper AU, please flag this under eAU exclusion reason when entering the absence in Successfactors.
You will then be required to attach your sick note directly on your time off request.
Important:
Please ensure that your insurance information in Successfactors is always up-to-date as this is a requirement for the eAU retrieval system.
If you do not enter your absence in Successfactors or we do not receive a valid sick note from you or your insurance, we will notify your manager who then can take disciplinary action.
Additional information for new starters
If you are unfortunately unwell within the first 28 days of your employment or longer than 6 weeks with the same sickness, your sick leave will not be paid by Flink but by your own health insurance provider. To be entitled to those payments, it is important that you always send the sick note (“Kopie für die Krankenkasse”) to your insurance company.
