Customising the absence reasons in ClassCover helps your school stay organised, improve reporting accuracy, and stay on top of budget tracking. By tailoring the absence reason options to reflect your school’s specific categories - whether it's sick leave, professional development, or other internal codes - you’ll have cleaner data for payroll, easier tracking for staff absences, and clearer insights into trends over time. Plus, this customisation flows through to your reports and Insights dashboard, giving you a complete, accurate picture when reviewing absences across the term or year. Here’s how to set it up:

Steps to Add Custom Absence Reasons


  1. Go to Admin Settings

    Navigate to Admin Settings and locate the ‘Reason for Absence List’ section.

  2. Edit the List

    Click on ‘Edit’ to make changes to the current list or add new Absence Reasons.

  3. Add New Reasons

    To add more absence reasons, click ‘Update Staff Reason for Absence List’. Then, enter the new absence reasons relevant to your school.

  4. Save Your Changes

    After adding the new reasons, click ‘Save’ to apply the updates.
