First day certificate – Investigation starts with an assignment dialogue via telephone between you as the client and one of our rehab coordinators. Depending on the outcome of the conversation, different activities then take place; for example, a survey interview with the rehab coordinator for the employee, sampling with the company nurse and medical examination with the company doctor. The content of the mapping depends on the situation and what emerges in dialogue with you as the client. Screening of alcohol consumption and breath tests may occur.

3. Feedback 
   After the investigation has been carried out, you as the orderer will receive documentation that can form the basis for deciding on first-day certificates. If a decision is made that the employee should be submitted with a first-day certificate, this is communicated to Previa and the rehab coordinator. Employees receive written and oral information from the employer and/or Previa on how to proceed to get a "first day certificate" issued on the first day of sick leave.
