What happens when an employee reports sickness?

When an employee is ill, in Proplanum you report it as an absence request — usually a sick note. The information reaches the supervisor straight away, and the absence is visible in the schedule.


How the report works


  1. The employee — or a supervisor on their behalf — submits an absence request of the sick leave type.
  2. The supervisor gets a notification about the new absence.
  3. An attachment (for example a scan of the sick note) and a note can be added to the request, if the request type allows it.
  4. The absence is visible in the schedule — you can plan cover for the missing shift straight away.


Remember: Sick leave is usually configured as an unlimited request that does not require approval. How to add it and who can do so: [Who can add sick leave requests?](Who can add sick leave requests?).
