How do I log sickness? (Mobile)

Modified on Fri, 22 Dec, 2023 at 2:37 PM

Woken up feeling like death and don't think that you're going to make it to your shift? It's probably a good idea to let your manager know before they call and make you feel even worse.


  1. Head over to your profile by clicking the person icon at the top of your screen and selecting Absences from the menu.
  2. Click the plus icon at the top right of the screen to start creating the sickness record.
  3. In the resulting form, fill out the start date for your sickness and choose whether your sick leave started in the morning or the afternoon.
  4. If the sickness you're logging is in the past you can fill out when it continued until as well; if the sickness is ongoing you can leave this blank. Either you or your line manager can update it once you're better.
  5. Next, choose the type of sickness which you're logging.
  6. If you want to add a note for your manager against the sickness you can enter this in the 'Additional Details' field.
  7. Once you're happy with the record click to confirm at the bottom of the form. The record will be emailed to your supervisor for their reference.
