Introduction
You can submit and manage Sick Leave Requests from two places in Indigo:
From Payroll&Leave, click on the Leave section and you will land into the Leave Request Audit.
From the Out of Office widget in the Employee Portal (if the Sick button is enabled for the users)
🤔 Remember: If the Sick Leave Request is submitted from the Leave section, it will get automatically approved. On the other hand, if you submit it from the Out of Office widget, the request will go through the established approval process according to the Organisation Chart.
Sick Leave Requests in the Out of Office widget
In the Out of Office widget you can take care of your own Sick Leave or proceed on behalf of someone else if you are allowed. To do so:
Click on the Sick button in the Out of Office widget.
A box will pop up titled Sick Leave Request Audit, showing any sick leave requests pending your approval, with three actions at the bottom right of the modal: Create Leave, Submit and Cancel.
There are two main actions you can perform in the Sick Leave Request Audit window:
Approving or Declining Sick Leave Requests
Click on the sick leave request entry to see any remarks, tags and the employee's home address. The leave entry displays the employee's name, the date and affected shift hours. Click on Approve or Decline on the right of the entry (Approve all or Decline All on the top right hand of the window), and then click the Submit button below the list.
💡 Tips:
1) It is possible to sort the view in the Sick Leave Request Audit window using the drop-down on the top left hand side of the window.
2) We can create a record tag on the employee called #medical-certificate and that could indicate that this employee needs a medical certificate every time he takes any sick leave.
Applying for Sick Leave for yourself or on an employee's behalf:
Click on the Create Leave button at the bottom right of the modal. The Apply for Sick Leave form will come up. Select your name or another employee's name in the Applicant field and fill the remaining field accordingly. Now, press Submit.
