Sickness is a key part of Breathe functionality.

You can update employee's sicknesses for them and change the sickness status to 'completed', or 'raise a query' if more information is needed.

To create a new sickness record, head over to the employee's Profile > Sickness tab.

Click on the blue '+' icon to create a new sickness record.

Here you can add the details of the sickness, including start date, end date (if applicable) and sickness type.

If the setting has been enabled for them to do so (via Configure > Settings > Change what people can see and do > Report their own sickness) employees can report their own sicknesses, which will notify their line manager/HR user.

They can do this from their own profile > sickness > + icon:


Creating sickness types

You can add sickness types by heading to Configure > Settings > Picklists > Sickness types.

Please note: Sickness is an integrated module so cannot be switched off.
