# Sick Pay Eligibility Evidence Note

## Inputs
The absence log, the earnings records and the fit notes.

## Workflow
1. List sickness absences with durations.
2. Check each against eligibility conditions and evidence.
3. Flag absences missing evidence or wrongly unpaid.
4. Return the note without changing pay.

## Output contract
Absence | days | eligible | evidence | flag | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional month: 9 absences; 6 are eligible with fit notes on file, 2 lack evidence after day 7 and 1 eligible absence shows unpaid. Flag 3 absences.

## Review gates
Re-check waiting days and linking rules before flagging. The note gathers gaps; payroll decides pay.
