Sick Leave

Sick leave is recorded by supervisors as distinct periods, separate from the leave request system. The system automatically generates worklogs for sick days.

Recording Sick Leave​

  1. Navigate to Sick Leave.
  2. Select the employee.
  3. Set the start date and end date.
  4. Check "Same illness as previous period" if this is a continuation within 30 days (see Same Illness Rule below).
  5. Add optional notes.
  6. Click "Record".

What Happens​

The system creates worklogs for each day of the sick leave period. Days that already have worklogs (e.g., the employee partially worked that day) are skipped. The success message shows how many worklogs were created.

Same Illness Rule (TES §13.6)​

If the same illness recurs within 30 days of the previous sick leave ending, it counts as a continuation. This affects sickness pay calculation — the waiting period is not re-applied.

When recording sick leave, check the "Same illness as previous period" box if this applies.

Viewing History​

The Sick Leave page shows recent periods with:

  • Dates — start and end of the sick leave period
  • Employee name
  • Same-illness indicator — whether the period is a continuation
  • Notes — any notes added when recording

Payroll Impact​

Sick leave worklogs generate SICK_PAY components during payroll calculation. The rate depends on the employee's pay type and the TES sickness pay rules.
