Absences: Features for Germany
Use of the Relationships fields
The first field (KENN1) is used to link related sickness records, i.e. successive absences due to the same illness. Any continued pay granted to an employee for a first illness can be taken into account for a second illness of the same type.
The second field (KENN2) links sickness records which are not based on the same illness, but should still count towards the amount of continued pay already granted.
The employee’s health insurance fund can tell you which previous illnesses should be counted.
In order to link illnesses, codes are assigned to identify the individual sickness records.
