It is important that all sickness absences are promptly recorded in SAP transaction CAT2, in line with our Sickness Absence Policy.

Unfortunately, it seems that this is not happening in all cases, which may affect how well we can support the person who is off sick, as well as the accuracy of our sickness absence reports. We hope that this summary reminder is helpful.

Responsibility

– The Line Manager must ensure that the sickness absence is recorded in CAT2 and that the necessary paperwork to support the sickness absence is provided (self-certificate and/or fit notes).

– At a few of our largest sites we have Time Administrators, and they record absences in CAT2 on behalf of the Line Manager, who must provide them with the details.

– If the sickness absence becomes long term (over 30 calendar days) HR Admin will take over recording the absence in CAT2 so that we pay correctly. Line Managers must keep HR Admin informed.

Deadline

All sickness absence should be recorded and updated in CAT2 before payroll deadline each month please.

Return to Work Meetings

A Return to Work meeting should be arranged for anyone returning to work from sickness absence and Line Managers must complete a Return to Work form which should be sent to hradmin@cemex.com, along with fit notes and self-certificates, as appropriate.

Currently we have two versions of the Return to Work Form, one of which is specifically for use in situations where the person is returning to work after shielding.

If you have any questions, please contact Wendy Williams, HR Administration Team Leader, who will be happy to help.  Thank you for your support.
