You can mark sick day as payable or non-payable.

To help you make a decision, we've created a tool which provides relevant employee information.

Whenever a sick day is added to the rota, a "View Sick Leave" button will appear in Payroll.

Click on this button to see how many payable sick days the employee has already received during the current year.

Hover over the button to view the Sick Leave Summary.

Within the summary, you can:

  • Set a reference period and reference period end date

  • View the employee's work pattern based on pay hours during that period

  • View the employee's set work pattern (if available)

  • Determine whether the sick day falls on one of the employee's usual working days

This information can help you decide whether the sick day should be marked as payable or non-payable.
