Gatekeeper Law Absence Case
The Gatekeeper Law defines the rules and procedures that an employer must follow to reintegrate employees who have been absent due to illness or injury, back into the workforce within two years.
All illness and injury related absences are managed under the sickness absence type.
The aim of the Gatekeeper Law is to support the employees in their return to work and thus avoid long-term sickness benefit payments.
The management of Gatekeeper Law absence cases is divided into phases. Each phase is triggered according to the start date of the absence case. The phases are guided by a Case Manager.
