NOTIFICATION OF SICKNESS
On your first sick day, you must notify the Department by sending an email to syg@mp.aau.dk.
When notifying the Department, you may ask for your message to be passed on to those of your colleagues who might need this information.
If you are off sick for a continuous period of more than 30 days, the municipal authorities will send you a number of letters and forms to fill out. You will receive these in your e-Boks/Digital Post. It is therefore essential that you check your e-Boks or your Digital Post via lifeindenmark.borger.dk on a regular basis during a period of long-term sickness, and that you fill out and return the forms requested by the municipal authorities. If you fail to do so, the University will not receive any sick pay reimbursement during your sickness absence.
RETURNING TO WORK
When you are fit to return to work, please send an email to syg@mp.aau.dk providing information on the date of your last sick day. It is very important that you remember to report fit for work once you return; otherwise, no end date will be registered to your sickness absence, and the municipal authorities may become involved (see above).
The same rules apply to absence due to a child’s first and second sick days, sickness absence included in a section 56 agreement, pregnancy-related sickness and work-related injury (please note that further documentation will be required for the latter three types of absence).
