Sick Leave Checklist

If you are sick, you don’t have to work, but please do your best to inform and organize things to minimize the impact as much as possible. To ensure all your duties are covered during your sick leave, you can follow this checklist.

Checklist on Sick Day

  • Inform your team and peopleops@vshn.ch immediately.

  • Follow the Being Away Checklist as soon as possible, depending on how long you are away. If you’re unable to do so, at least inform a team member who can do most of that for you - we help each other in such situations.

  • If you are sick for more than 3 consecutive days, you need a doctor’s certificate ("Arztzeugnis"). See Sick Leave Time Off.

After Returning to Work

  • Make sure your time off for the sick leave is requested and approved in Odoo before the timesheet is submitted for that month.

  • Do the rest of the Being Away Checklist.

  • If you have a doctor’s certificate ("Arztzeugnis"), attach it as a "Supporting Document".

General Considerations

Planned doctor’s appointments and medical consultations are generally not considered work time. See Medical Consultation Time Off.
