Very often, in the course of labor relations, a situation arises when an employee does not work for a long time, reporting to the employer with a sick leave. Sometimes it's just a way to avoid getting fired. Often, the authenticity of such a sick leave is suspicious.
Instructions
Step 1
How can an employer verify the authenticity of a sick leave? To begin with, you should know that a sick leave is a document of strict accountability, so it is almost impossible to obtain or buy it illegally. And if a doctor gives you a sick leave "clandestinely", he most likely will not enter his data into the database.
Step 2
The document must be of the established form. Since July 1, 2011, the certificate of incapacity for work has completely changed. And it's not just about color or shape. Now the sick leave sheet has the A4 format instead of the old A5 (that is, it is the same size as the typewritten sheet we know), has a multi-level degree of protection, including due to a barcode with a unique combination of 12 digits, blue with light yellow fields for filling. The columns of the Certificate of Incapacity for Work should be filled in only in capital block letters with a black gel or fountain pen, or filled in by computer technology. These requirements are caused by the need to scan and transfer the sick leave into electronic form. In addition, the sheet has watermarks and color shading.
Also, additional fields will appear on the sick leave, where it is necessary to enter the patient's medical card number, TIN and pension insurance card number. In addition, the new sick leave form contains fields to be completed by the employer. It is quite difficult to fake innovations. Not only the chief accountant, but also the manager will now sign the sick leave form on the part of the employer. If an employee provides an old-style certificate of incapacity for work after July 1, 2011, it will be considered illegally issued.
Step 3
The leaflet must be issued by an authorized organization (doctor).
Step 4
Send the employee to the clinic where the sick leave is issued. All information is necessarily stored in the database.
Step 5
Send a written request to the polyclinic with a request to confirm the authenticity of the issuance of the certificate of incapacity for work. The approximate text of such a request: "I ask you to confirm the authenticity of the certificate of incapacity for work No.…, Appendix: 1 sheet. Signature."
Step 6
Write an application to the Social Insurance Fund for the district, region, city. This structure initiates a check in the clinic and establish the legality of issuing a sick leave.
Step 7
Contact the company's security service. In most cases, its employees have connections with law enforcement agencies, and they certainly can get any information in a clinic or hospital in a legal way. At the same time, we are not talking about intimidation.
Step 8
If violations are found, write a statement to the prosecutor's office. Remember: counterfeiting not only leads to financial losses. For the forgery and sale of false documents, a term of real imprisonment of up to two years is imposed. And for the use of a fake - a fine of up to 80 thousand rubles, correctional labor up to two years or arrest for six months.
