Auto-sync eAU certificates from health insurers
DATEV integration brings eAU certificates into Factorial automatically — no manual retrieval, no paper certificates to chase, just compliant absence tracking built in.
Since January 2023, German employers are required to retrieve sick leave certificates (eAU) electronically from health insurers. Without a connected integration, HR teams had to retrieve them manually — creating gaps between absence records in Factorial and payroll data in DATEV.
The DATEV integration now handles eAU retrieval automatically, so absence records stay accurate without extra steps from HR.
Here's what you can do:
Receive automatically: eAU certificates are fetched from health insurers and synced directly to Factorial absence records the moment they're available.
Stay compliant: Every sick leave entry meets Germany's legal eAU requirements without manual intervention.
Reduce back-and-forth: HR no longer needs to chase employees for certificates or manually reconcile absence data.
Keep DATEV in sync: Sick leave records stay consistent across Factorial and your payroll provider — no duplicate entries.
