Overview

Sick / Special Leave is very easy for you to administer, with flexibility available to cater for differing requirements.

1. Sick / Special Leave Entitlements (e.g. SICK-ENT) set up the rules that apply to sick/special leave (e.g. give 5 days every year, after 6 months, any unused is discarded on rollover).

2. People are given the appropriate Entitlement on their Standard Timesheet. (e.g. John William Matthews)

3. Any Opening Balances are recorded. (e.g. John William Matthews).

4. Sick/Special Leave Taken can be recorded on the person's timesheet.

5. This updates the person's Leave Balances (e.g. John William Matthews).

6. Leave History is also updated, providing a convenient view of leave taken. (e.g. John William Matthews).

7. Detailed Leave Balances are also held, for those times when you need to understand exactly how a figure has been arrived at: (e.g. John William Matthews).

Setting up Sick/Special Leave

You will need to set up special leave entitlement rules (unless the standard SICK-ENT applies), enter any Opening Balances and check your figures. Refer to Setting up Leave for more details.

New Staff

Ensure that they have the correct leave entitlement code on their Standard Timesheet.

Taking Sick/Special Leave

Record SICK on the person's timesheet, using either the timesheet entry or the Leave History page.

Note that when recording Sick leave you may be required to enter the number of days to deduct off the person's balance, in addition to the number of hours to pay. (This extra information is required for part time staff where details of their exact working patterns aren't recorded).

To record Unpaid Sick Leave, use SICK-LWOP instead. (Alternatively, you could simply reduce the number of Paid hours and not record any leave. Refer to SICK-LWOP for more details on these options).

Sick/Special Anniversaries / Rollover

These will occur at the appropriate times, giving a new entitlement and updating balances. See SICK-ENT - Sick/Special Leave Entitlement for more details.
