Sick Leave Management

Sick leaves account for the largest costs associated with human capital for almost every organization. Millions of euros are spent each year to compensate for sick leaves. In Norway, each employee is entitled up to 52 weeks of sick leave. While these policies are beneficial, some employees use more time than required before returning to work.

4human’s HRM software has a proven track record of reducing sick leave by one percentage points due to better follow-up during medical-related absences, saving millions of euros for clients. Adhering to the stringent regulations set up by the Norwegian government, which places a large responsibility on the employers to get sick employees back to work, it enables follow-up processes for long term sick leave. The firm sets up a one-to-one meeting with the employee within a week of absence, following up in intervals of three weeks after that. The meetings are adhered to, and the results are shared with the government.

4human has one of very few HRM systems that’s integrated with the government and doctors to track and manage an employee’s health, providing a holistic overview of workforce absence.
