Steps
- Open Sickness from the sidebar.
- Choose Report sickness.
- Under Who is off?, choose the person.
- Enter their First day off, then say whether they're still off sick. Add an Expected last day off if you know it, or their Last day off if they're back.
- Choose Record sickness absence.
What happens next
- It's recorded straight away, with no approval. Their manager is told, or HR if they have no manager, unless that's you. While they're still off, it shows on Sickness under Currently off.
- Once their expected last day has passed, Needs attention asks whether they're back: choose Back at work on their row. If they're back sooner, choose View details, then Change dates and Confirm last day.
- Needs attention also lists anyone who needs a return-to-work conversation.
If something goes wrong
You don't see Sickness in the sidebar. It shows for HR Admins, System Admins and Managers with someone reporting to them. If someone reports to you, ask an HR Admin to give you the Manager role, and to check who the person reports to.
The person isn't in the Who is off? list. Managers can report only for their direct reports. Ask an HR Admin to report it, or to update who the person reports to.
