  • The Education Ministry linked approved sick leave records from the Seha platform to the Fares system.
  • Employees no longer need to attach or manually upload medical reports when registering sick leave.
  • The ministry said the service should speed up procedures and improve the reliability of leave data.

Employees no longer need to attach medical documents when registering sick leave after the Education Ministry linked its Fares system to the national Seha platform.

The service transfers data on sick leave issued and approved by a healthcare facility from Seha to Fares automatically. The ministry said the platform allows sick leave to be issued and verified electronically and connects the information with government and private entities.

To use the service, employees enter Fares, select the employee self-service authority, choose leave, then select sick leave and enter the service code, which is the medical report number. The system then displays the leave’s start and end dates.

The ministry said employees do not need to register the leave with an attached medical report or upload the document manually. If the leave does not appear, employees should verify the service code, according to the ministry’s guidance.
