Bus/Financial - Human Resources / Leave applications | | Swedish term or phrase: attestanten | The term arises repeatedly in a web-based system for personnel used for applying for leaves, registering sickness, etc. "Din attestanten" is one key term, otherwise used/defined as follows:
Man kan skicka ett meddelande till attestanten genom att klicka på meddelande/bilagor.
den som ska bevilja ledigheten (attestanten).

1 hr confidence:  
2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 supervisor
Explanation:
The person in a company who deals with all this is your supervisor or line manager. No one is employed just to check sickness certificates etc. In a university the title would depend on the particular admin system, it could be the bursar's office or even a senior tutor's but I think supervisor is a good general purpose word and it avoids the danger of 'translationese' ( I never heard 'attestor' used outside the legal context, though the verb form is quite normal in any context.)
