Connect Tervisekassa so certificates of incapacity for work become absences on the schedule. Before connecting, decide which absence policies colleagues should see and have a board member grant Begin the company’s mandate.
Grant the mandate
1
Check the employer
Open Settings → Integrations → Tervisekassa → Setup. Check the company registry code; add it
in workspace settings if it is missing.
2
Ask a board member to grant access
In Mandate on eesti.ee, use Open eesti.ee or send the displayed steps to a board member.
They sign in, open Volitused, and grant Begin OÜ, registry code
12100876, access to the
Tervisekassa employer X-tee services.3
Record the confirmation
After the board member grants access, choose Mark the mandate as granted in Begin. This
records their confirmation; it does not grant the mandate.


Choose the absences colleagues see
Open Absence mappings and map each certificate type you use to a time-off policy. Create the policy first if none is available. Use Reason overrides when a particular reason should use a different policy, such as a work accident rather than ordinary sick leave. Everyone who can read the schedule can see the mapped absence and its Tervisekassa origin in the history. The certificate itself, with its type, reason and number, stays with the people who manage integrations. The reason code Begin copies onto the absence is separate: reading it on the schedule or in a report takes the View others’ time-off details permission, so colleagues see the absence without it. A downloaded report file is not yet narrowed this way. No diagnosis is fetched or stored. These absences arrive approved and published. Consider that automatic visibility before turning on the connection.Connect and check
Turn on the header switch. Begin checks hourly; use Check for certificates on Sync to ask now. Check the run result and the resulting absences. Closed certificates that need your data appear under Waiting for data.Connected means Tervisekassa answered. An empty result can mean there are no certificates or
that the eesti.ee mandate is missing. Begin cannot distinguish those cases. Check the mandate if
expected certificates do not arrive.
