For recording purposes, sickness absence can only be logged for half day or whole day periods. However, if you are incapacitated for less than that period you should ensure that your line manager is notified and that you self-certify for the period of sickness. This will ensure that you are paid for normal hours. However, it should be noted that this absence will count towards your sickness absence trigger.
