Processing 'waiting days'

If you want to add a so called 'waiting day' for a team member, you can process this in the following way.

Updated this week

In many collective labor agreements, the first day of sick leave is at your own expense: it is an unpaid sick day. In this case you speak of a 'waiting day'. The easiest way to register this, is by changing the type of hours to 'Sick'. This will make it clear that it concerns a sick day.

Since the first day of sick leave is at the team member’s own expense, you should not enter any hours:

  • It is best to change the end time to the start time of the shift.

  • This ensures 00:00 hours will be recorded.

  • Now, the team member’s overtime balance will decrease for that day, meaning the lost hours will need to be made up later.

A two-day unpaid sick leave period?

Does your collective labor agreement include a two-day unpaid sick leave period? If so, repeat the above action on the second day of sick leave.
