Getting started
Sick Days
View sickness records and, with management permission, add, correct or delete them.
Last checked 10 November 2026
Use Sick Days in the main navigation to review recorded sickness. The table shows Start, End, Reason and User, with search and date sorting controls.
Access
View Sick Days permission is required to open the page and view details. To add, update or delete records, you also need Manage Leave Requests and Sick Days.
A user with viewing permission alone can open a record's details, but the fields are read-only and management controls are unavailable. If you need to record sickness and cannot see Add Sick Day, ask an administrator to check both permissions.
Add a record
- Open Sick Days and click the Add Sick Day plus button.
- Select the User.
- Enter a Reason and, if needed, an optional Description.
- Enter the start and end dates. Use the same date in both fields for a single day.
- Click Add Sick Day.
The end date must not be earlier than the start date. These are date-based records; the form does not ask for hours or half-day selections.
Correct or delete a record
Open the record from the table. With management permission, edit the reason, description or dates and click Update Sick Day. The edit form does not change the selected user. If you recorded the wrong user, delete the incorrect record and add it for the correct person.
To delete, select Delete, click Update Sick Day and confirm the deletion prompt.
Sick days are separate from leave requests: this form does not submit a request for approval or deduct a leave allowance. Use Managing Leave Requests for that workflow.
