You can add a new sickness cause so you can record sickness more precisely for example, 'Virus', 'Back pain', 'Mental health', 'Injury', etc, rather than just using a generic option.
That makes your sickness records cleaner and gives you better reporting, because reports can break down sickness by 'Sickness cause' alongside reason, dates, working days, and more.
So, it’s mainly about improving tracking and reporting, not changing how sickness is paid, that’s handled in Payroll.
To add a new absence sickness cause, follow the below steps:
Click Configuration and then select Settings.
Drop down Module Settings then drop-down HR.
Select Absence sickness cause then click Add sickness cause.
Add the required details then click on Save.
