  • Recording access is available to users with “Full / Department Pay Leavers” or “HR Read Write” access to CHRIS.  
  • This absence type is intended for circumstances where an individual is required to self-isolate in line with government guidance, including where;   
    • they live with someone who has symptoms or has tested positive; or 
    • someone in their support bubble has symptoms or has tested positive; or 
    • they have been told by NHS Test and Trace that they have been in contact with a person with coronavirus.  
  • It is not intended for use in the following circumstances: 
    • Coronavirus related sickness absence, which should continue to be recorded under sickness absence, using the sickness reason of “Covid-19 (Coronavirus)”.  
    • Quarantine following travel abroad to certain countries.
