If you are undertaking any part of your assignment remotely, you should complete the Display Screen Equipment risk assessment before you commence work.  You should do this in liaison with your supervisor and the Department Safety Officer should provide any advice and support should issues be highlighted in the risk assessment. 

Q. What do I do if I am sick?

All sickness should be reported to your line manager. You should also let TES know if you are sick.

If you are ill you will not receive your standard hourly pay but you will be entitled to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) provided that you satisfy the qualifying conditions. To apply for SSP you should fill in a CHRIS/73 form and send it through to TES at temps@admin.cam.ac.uk Further detail on SSP can be fund at Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) : Overview - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Sickness for a period of over 7 consecutive days usually needs to be supported by a doctor’s note, see When do I need a fit note? - NHS (www.nhs.uk) for further details.

You should keep your department and TES notified about your sickness and your expected return to work.
