Sickness Absence Management
Compliant offboarding with tailored exit health assessments.
AseptA’s Sickness Absence Management System (SAMS) empowers organisations to reduce lost time, support employee wellbeing, and foster a culture of care—through clinically-led, data-driven absence management that delivers measurable business results.
SAMS: A Smarter Way to Manage Sickness
AseptA’s Sickness Absence Management System (SAMS) offers a strategic, compliant, and compassionate approach to managing employee absence—enhancing productivity while prioritising workforce wellbeing.
SAMS enables collaboration between employees, managers, HR, and occupational health professionals, ensuring clear visibility, control, and prompt management of absence. With real-time data and actionable insights, the system supports informed decisions, trend monitoring, and effective workforce planning.
Managed by experienced medical professionals, SAMS provides objective, evidence-based advice tailored to each case. This ensures absence is handled fairly, consistently, and in the best interest of both the employee and the business. When required, the system offers quick access to qualified medical health professionals—allowing early identification and resolution of underlying health issues.
SAMS focuses on reducing the duration and frequency of genuine sickness absence through early interventions, phased return-to-work plans, and expert support. It also includes robust mechanisms to challenge inappropriate absence, ensuring policies are applied consistently and compliantly.
As a result, organisations using SAMS report a 30% reduction in total days lost and nearly a 40% reduction in lost days per absence event, clearly demonstrating the measurable outcomes of effective absence management.
Organisations using SAMS report:
– A 30% reduction in total days lost.
– A nearly 40% reduction in total days lost per absence event.
Fully aligned with ACAS guidelines and UK employment law, SAMS helps organisations reduce the risk of grievances, tribunals, and legal claims while reinforcing a fair and transparent absence management process.
Above all, SAMS helps cultivate a positive company culture based on duty of care—where genuine health-related absence is recognised, supported, and managed with empathy and professionalism. This balance of compassion and control fosters trust, boosts morale, and strengthens organisational resilience.
By enabling early action, medical oversight, and stakeholder collaboration, SAMS helps businesses retain talent, reduce costs, and improve outcomes for both employees and the organisation.
