⚙️Settings for self-notification (egenmelding)

In Norwegian companies, it is possible to set absence of the type Self-notification.

The settings for self-notification are only available in companies with home country Norway.

Self-notification means that an employee notifies their employer that they are sick and absent from work without needing to present a doctor’s certificate.

In HRM Time you can create reasons for absence with type of absence Self-notification.
You set the type of absence under Settings > Time and Plan > Reason for absence.

Rules on number of days and occasions

Under Settings > Time and Plan > Reason for absence, the tab Time settings for self-notification are available.

There you set rules for:

  • Number of days per occasion: How many calendar days self-notification can be used per occasion.
  • Number of occasions: The number of times self-notification can be used during a twelve-month period.
  • Number of days: Number of calendar days self-notification can be used during a twelve-month period.
  • Number of days in the employer's period: Here you enter the length of the employer’s period.
    Within this period, the number of self-notification days must not exceed Number of days per occasion. If this quota has already been reached, you must accrue as many days as shown in the field before self-notification can be used again.

 

 Example: The number of days in the employer period is 16. Self-notification on days 1–3 of a month means that the next self-notification can be registered on the 20th at the earliest, i.e. when 16 days have passed after day 3. 

 

Rule for when self-notification can start to be used

The setting Self-notification is allowed from is used to set how many days, weeks or months you must be employed before self-notification can be used.

You can apply the setting:

  • Per company under Settings > Time and Plan > Time reports
  • Per timegroup under Settings > Time and Plan > Time groups
  • Per employee under Employees > Time

Registration of self-notification

The rules act as a block during absence registration. You will receive information in an error message when you try to save an absence that is blocked by the rules for self-notification.

 

Example number of days per occasion
If the setting states that self-notification may be a maximum of three days per occasion, you cannot save an absence of four days.

Self-notification is already registered 1–3 December.

I try to save self-notification 15 December.
I then receive two pieces of notice:

  1. The earliest I can register self-notification is 20 December, when 16 days have passed after 3 December.
  2. I am not allowed to register a fourth day of self-notification 1–16 December.

I have had four self-notification periods during the autumn, totalling 6 days.

Number of days is set to 12, but I cannot save a seventh day of self-notification in January as it would exceed four occasions during the last year.

A reminder about the rule for number of days is always shown in the absence manager when you have selected a reason for absence with the type self-notification.

Good to know

  • Twelve-month period: The rules apply per twelve-month period, not calendar year. What is checked is therefore not the self-notification you have had this year, but the self-notification you have had in the last year, counted back from the absence’s until date.
  • Calendar days: The rules apply to calendar days. If the rules state self-notification can be for a maximum of three days, it does not mean three work days – non-working days are also included.

There are also rules that are not configurable, but that also prevent you from saving self-notification:

  • The absence must have a from date and an until date.
  • Self-notification cannot overlap absence part time with type of absence Sickness.
  • After a period of sick leave, work must have been resumed for at least one day.
