Sick?
If you are sick, you hand inn a sick leave just like in a "normal" job. Get your general practitioner (fastlege) to issue a certificate, and the sick leave will automatically be registered in our systems. For shorter periods of illness, you must register this as an absence application in the self-service portal as a ”self-certified sick leave". Read more about sick leave.
