This ensures that the department (and if necessary, with the involvement of the Dean of Studies) can either arrange for a replacement or inform students that they will not be able to attend classes.

As soon as sick leave exceeds three working days, a medical certificate of incapacity to work must be provided and forwarded by the employee or by the department/service to the Department of Human Resources (by e-mail to krankmeldung@mdw.ac.at). Employees must also first notify the department/service of the end of their sick leave. In the case of indefinite sick leave, a medical confirmation of the (expected) end of the sick leave ("Fitness for Work Certificate") must be provided and forwarded by the employee or by the department/service and forwarded to the above e-mail address.
