Please note;
• Covid wasn’t recorded in our Electronic Staffing Record ESR. system initially. We did however set up a Covid portal so that we could track employees that were isolating due to Covid. I’ve therefore done a comparison against the covid app figures but they are in actual days rather than FTE days as FTE days aren’t recorded in the app. Covid app figures are down for current year as Covid absence is now recorded in ESR. • It would not be appropriate to provide the level of details requested in question 6 due to the possibility or being able to identify that employee I have therefore only provided the length of time taken.
