SAM is a simple to use online tool for the education sector that monitors, reports and manages all aspects of staff absence including sickness, paid and unpaid leave of absence. With SAM on the case, you can reduce supply costs therefore saving money and providing more educational continuity. There's no need for any manual calculating of absence records. You can see at a glance if any employees have hit an absence trigger - SAM will flag it up and highlight them on the dashboard. You can choose from default triggers, the Bradford Factor formula or your own bespoke triggers. SAM will then prompt you to invite employees to an absence review meeting and give you all the documentation you need to manage absence cases more confidently from beginning to end. The SAM reporting suite enables you to quickly identify the reasons behind Sickness Absences and Leave of Absence (Paid or Unpaid, Authorised or Unauthorised) in order to spot trends and absence patterns, per type, per department, per line manager and per term. Year on year and termly comparison reports are also available. SAM keeps everything you need in one place, including notes, messages and letters. With full case management history and a quick glance calendar it’s easy to monitor staff absences. SAM will mean you have one process for everyone, that can be tracked, used as evidence and will help prevent claims of discrimination. From the day-to-day essentials like meeting invitations and self-certification forms to handy guides and absence management flowcharts, whatever you need is safely stored in SAM. In a click, you can download templates, customise and merge documents, print and save everything automatically for each individual in a case file.
