A sick note is a document confirming an inability to work. In Proplanum you create it as your own request type, matched to the nature of illness — no day limit, no approval and with the option of attaching a scan. Here we show who can add sick leave and how to configure such a request.

Who can add sick leave requests

Creating a sick leave request type

1. Go to Company settings → "Requests" and click "Add request".
2. As the type choose "Other".

3. Enter a name (for example Sick leave) and an abbreviation, then set the options typical for sick leave:

• Allow adding an attachment — tick this so the employee can attach a scan of the note.
• Leave requires approval — leave unticked; sick notes apply regardless and are not rejected.
• Limited — leave unticked; the number of sick days is unlimited.

4. Click "Save".
