How do you manually process a digital sick note in Simployer Classic?

1. Select Options.
2. Select Process.

The available options depend on the sick leave already registered for the employee:

• Ongoing or started sick leave: If the employee has previous sick leave that has ended, you receive a message about it. You can reopen the previous absence or start a new one. Select the option that applies to the digital sick note.
• New sick leave: If the employee does not have active sick leave, you can start a new absence directly from the digital sick note. The sick note is then automatically added to the employee’s sick leave follow-up timeline.
